Isn’t playdough just the best. My kids honestly play with it every single day 🙂
my daughter loves playdough, but I have never thought of adding scents & textures…what a great idea! Will be trying these out for sure 🙂
Already pinned, but had to come over and comment as your lavender playdough was what inspired me and helped me learn to embrace and love playdough rather than dread it. Thanks! http://jennifischer.blogspot.com/2012/08/lavender-playdough-how-i-learned-to.html
These ideas are all really lovely, simple to do and tons of fun! Will def share with my family and friends and also on my parenting page on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/ConsciousParentingApproach, sometime next month when I plan to run a Crafts, Creativity & Connection theme. Inviting you and your fans to come pass by and say Hello to us soon! 🙂
I am wondering about storage. Some kinds we have refrigerated others in an air tight container. Which is the best for this type?
