It has been a little gloomy here on the Gold Coast the past few weeks – raining and too wet to play outside most weekends. So the kids and I made some playdough, which resulted in hours of fun and creativity.

I’m going to make up some more and give to my niece for as a Christmas gift. I have included 2 home made playdough recipes below, a regular recipe and one for the Thermomix. 1 batch will fit perfectly into one container.

I store our playdough in these round containers, 3 for $2 at Kmart. They are a screw top lid so will keep the playdough nice and soft while not in use.  Playdough labels available here, 12 coloured labels.  Print on A4 paper cut labels then using double-sided tape stick to container.
