Store bought Play-do has always been a staple in my house. The mounds of colorful dough would account for hours of fun as little fingers created cars, animals and beautiful blobs of color. Over the last several years, both my kidlet and I have discovered gluten and dairy sensitivities in our diet. This not only affected the way we eat, but the products we choose to bring into our house. That's when I discovered that you can actually make your own play dough. How cool!
These home-made play dough balls make wonderful presents. Simply pair a few cookie cutters with some creatively packaged balls play dough and voila...the perfect home-made gift.
