This playdough is great! My 3 year old and my 12 year old both love it. We used Kool-Aid to color and scent some of the dough and food coloring in some. The batch makes a good size lump of dough, easily equal to 4 cans of Play-doh brand. Great fun for the whole family!!

Would have been good to have a temperature for this - mine got quite dry as I think I had the heat up too high! Found it easier to mix the colouring in with the water at the beginning.

Not the best playdough recipe I've used, but alright. It turned out gritty and dry - not sure why? But good enough to play with!
