Wow great recipe for playdough!! I love this microwave method. So much easier than on the stovetop, and less mess too. Thank you so much!

Nothing quite like warm play dough, I love making this stuff. Even though the recipe tells you to, I'm glad the other reviewers emphasized the importance of stirring every 30 seconds...it's a must. Never made a nuked version before, doesn't get much easier!

Boomie - this is a great idea and craft project to make with my grandson! It took just 3 minutes in my microwave and that stirring process if most important. It is so easy to do that making many colors is not an issue at all. Keeping it in zippered baggies and it is still soft 3 days later. :)
