Some of you may remember our
Play-don't disaster from a few months back. (If not, here's the Cliff's Notes version: I made home-made play-dough using what turned out to be the world's worst recipe.) After being burned by that experience, I've been a bit gun-shy to try again, though I did pick up some cream of tartar for when I was ready to jump in again.
When I came across a
play-dough recipe on
Pinterest this weekend proclaiming to result in the "softest, squishiest, longest lasting play dough EVER", I was...skeptical. When I told my husband I was going to try again to make some play-dough, he raised an eyebrow and asked "are you sure?" I wasn't, but I had the ingredients on hand and the recipe looked easy enough, so I figured, why not? At least I didn't have to save coffee grounds for a week or try to figure out ambiguous instructions!
You guys.
It came out perfect.

Play-dough "breakfast" |
I only made one color to start, but when I had beautiful, squishy, soft play dough in about 10 minutes, I immediately made up another batch in another color. It was so close in texture to store bought play dough that I couldn't believe it. My husband marveled. Delilah was more interested in opening and closing the containers I put it into at first, but she came around eventually.
Next time you want to pass an afternoon playing with delightfully squishy and soft play dough, use

YAY!! I remember using the cream of tartar recipe when we were little. Always thought it sounded so alien - a "cream of" something in play dough?? Glad you gave it another shot - it looks MUCH better than the first one ;)
