My daughter Jess has been using this Playdough recipe for years. She originally made it in the TM31.
It was used for many years at Playgroup and also as part of birthday packages for littlies. It’s a lovely soft dough. I like to add essential oils appropriate for each colour, though it’s also fun to mix up the fragrance and colour and have the kids guessing! Green playdough that has a rose geranium fragrance? Tricky!
Add glitter if liked and experiment with different colours. If giving as a gift, it’s nice to embed a little toy into the middle of the dough.
