Homemade Playdoh

The neighbor kids have left to spend the next two weeks in Texas visiting their grandparents. Which means my kids have no one to play with. They decided they wanted to play with play-doh this afternoon! Leah was so cute! I found her at the table signing "Happy Birthday" to herself. Don't ya, just love the glasses. I decided it would be a good time to make a couple batches of play-doh. Now, that the neighbor kids are gone. The kids need something to do to pass the time.

This is my famous play-doh recipe! I have been using it for the past couple of years. It's awesome! The play-doh feels great and soft. I'm not sure where I found this recipe but I have tweet it over the years. The kids love it and its some much more economical than buying store bought play-doh plus no chemicals.
