Homemade Playdough

Staying at home with your little ones has lots of advantages, I have learned. I can do things that I never would have thought about before. I called a friend of mine the other day and told her that I was thinking about making playdough. Before I could even get the thought out of my mouth, she had mentioned that she had a link to this website that she is sending me that will tell you step by step instructions. Thanks Stephanie. :) The link is: www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Make-Playdough-(Play-doh)/

I followed the instructions and presto, we had our very own playdough. I will have to admit that I did burn my first batch. After you read the instructions you will probably wonder how in the world I burned it because it is supposed to be on a low heat. Well, I'm not going to admit how I did it, just that I did. Ha-ha!!!

I used a lot of gel food coloring instead of liquid food coloring. I don't really know if it makes a difference, since this is my first time, but I wanted to get really bright vivid colors.

It turned out pretty good if I do say so myself. Now I think I am going to learn how to do other crafty projects. I will be the craftiest mom on the block. Ha-ha!!! I'm talking quilts, hair bows, you name it.
