My mother-in-law would make this for all the grandkids, one for each in different colors. It's softer than the commercial playdo and a lot of fun....She would save the playdo in plastic baggies for the next time!!

excellent recipe, I do not suggest trying to make 3 pots in unison , but it is perfect we made 6 batches in less than an hour and it makes a perfect amount to split in two, one for your kid or kids, then you can bag the rest for a neighbor or friend!

    Easy. Inexpensive. Great Play-Doh! My only problem was not really knowing how long or how hot to cook it. I cooked it on med-high heat until it started to get thick and chunky (like Play-Doh). Then I took it off and continued turning it with a spoon. When it cooled, I kneaded it till smooth. Turned out great!

    Just made this today - love it!!! Made plenty! When I was cooking it up, I had my doubts, but all of sudden, it started looking like playdo! Will likely make more in the future. After it started to cool, I kneaded it and then put it in plastic containers. Nice texture. I added food coloring with the water. Came out great!
