DIY Play Dough

I am so excited to announce that I am over at Modern Parents Messy Kids today, where I am now a regular contributor, sharing my favorite DIY play dough recipe.  It is an honor to be a part of such an awesome site.  If you haven’t been reading Modern Parents Messy Kids, you have seriously been missing out.  You must check it out!

In the last year or so, we have tried about 6 different recipes for play dough.  This is by far the best.  Smells delicious and it is super smooth and nice to play with.

When I told Avery we were going to make play dough she started screaming, “PLASTICINA!” (in Honduras, they call play dough plasticina) and saying, “Oh, thank you mommy, I am so excited.”  It really might be her favorite thing ever.  Anything that makes her that happy (and keeps her occupied for hours) might just be my favorite thing, too.

For anyone wondering, yes, she did mix the colors.  And yes, I did have to take deep breaths and tell myself that it was ok.

So head on over to Modern Parents Messy Kids for the full how-to on the play dough.  Your kids will thank you!
