In reply to Nik. 100% sure. It was our go-to for a good while. :)

This was s horrible disaster for us! Are you sure this is the actual recipe you use?

I have a tip… I don’t like the sticky mess the Playdough makes when you cook it… I use a very similar recipe with the same ingredients you have here… I put all the dry ingredients in a bowl and next together… Then put water oil and food coloring and a pot bring to a boil… As soon as it boils I poured into the bowl of dry ingredients and stir always turns out great! I don’t have to worry about overcooking undercooking or the sticky pot!

We sure have! You can find the recipe we used here: https://mamapapabubba.com/2012/05/27/making-moon-dough/ and how we play with it here: https://mamapapabubba.com/2012/05/27/moon-dough-sensory-bin/. I must say, it is quite messy. While my first choice is playing with it outside, we’ve used it in our solarium several times and it’s been fine. I just lay down a big blanket first, and when we’re done, I pick up the four corners of the blanket and shake it out outside. I think the blanket idea would work just fine indoors too, but I would still be prepared for some mess as it’s super fine and seems to sneakily end up EVERYWHERE.

BTW, we are still using that same batch of purple play dough as of now. It’s been over three months and it’s still as good as the day we made it. Best recipe I’ve ever tried.

Awesome! This looks like SO much fun!! I saw your other recipes as well, but have you ever tried “moon-dough”? Is it worth the mess [indoors].. or is it more of an outdoor adventure?

Btw… you have the CUTEST little girl!! :)
