This is a great recipe, my mom made it for me when i was younger, so I wanted to try it myself. After it cooled, i divided it into 3 pieces, and added uncooked rice to one, and uncooked grits to another, for texture. I also added coconut extract to one, and almond extract to another one. I used cherry kool-aid and the cherry almond scent smells delicious! I was afraid that the dough would stain onto skin, but it doesn't. Thanks so much for the recipe!

I have a very similar recipe that is just wonderful and a bit simpler than the one posted. Instead of cooking all the ingredients, all you do is combine the dry ingredients in a bowl and pour in the boiling water. I use my stand mixer's paddle attachment and let it go to work. Super easy, and only one bowl to wash!

We have taken it upon ourselves to work through the play dough recipes at Zaar (my girls and I — ages 3, 1, and 23!!) This was our first project. We've finally found a use for all those packs of KoolAid Grandma sends home with us! This was very easy and dumping in the ingredients was a lot of fun for the girls. They loved using butter knives, forks, cutting boards, rolling pins, etc. to "bake" with. One warning — if you are sensitive to scents, this is very strong. We used grape this time, and it gave me a little of a head ache after a while. No complaints from the kids though, and that's what counts for me! (Mom actually got a little work done...)

This recipe is great. The kids and I made a few batches and gave them as party favors along with a cookie cutter. The kids enjoyed them so much that I had countless phone calls asking for the recipe. Even a few of the teachers wanted some for the classroom.

I love the way this play dough turned out! I haven't found a better recipe out there! It doesn't dry out your hands while playing with it and it is nice and smooth. For some reason the first time I made it the dough remained sticky even though I added quite a bit more flour (I didn't add COLD water, just tap water...I don't know if that was the problem?) Anyway, the second time I made it I followed the directions EXACTLY and it came out perfect. This is a keeper! Thank you!

What an easy and fun project for kids! My son and I really enjoyed making this scented play dough together today and now he's having fun rolling it out and making shapes with it using the cookie cutters! The results are great because you spend time together, making memories for everyone involved. Thank you for sharing a great recipe, Maple Leaf Lili!
