Homemade playdough a fun activity to make with your kiddos and one that provides hours of endless play once you’re done in the kitchen. The best part, you pick the colors you want to make! I went with some Halloween theme colors to stay in the Halloween spirit but you can also leave the dough without color if you so choose.
One thing I love about homemade playdough is how incredibly SOFT it is. It feels like little puffy clouds in your hand. Because of the oil in the the homemade dough it also feels extremely smooth, spreads and rolls easier for those little kiddos to work on fine motor skills.
To store the playdough you want to make sure you have a few airtight containers that seal nicely. If you don’t have any containers a plastic bag will do the trick in a pinch as well.
