    Yay! We just played with playdoh for the first time this weekend! My daughter, 20 months, kept sniffing it and making a terrible yuck face. I’d much rather give her something to sniff that I know has only natural ingredients in it. Thanks SO much – what great timing!

    my mom made this for us as kids and would store it in old frosting containers.
