I'm so glad you bumped this one Barbara as I am having the grandies on Tuesday and I am going to make it for the little fellow to make a mess with.  I always do cooking, craft work or colouring in with the 5 yr old but the toddler is left to amuse himself and give me lots of cuddles. I'm sure he will love to sit at the 'work table' with us girls and do something different for a change. Miss 5 is going to think her Grandma is sooo clever.  I impressed her last time by making some glue out of flour and water for her project and she couldn't wait to tell her Mum about it.

I made glue today JD - sadly I wasn't trying to though.  Never pour boiling water into your TMX to wash it after you have been making bread!!!  ;)

In this "modified" version (which I wish I'd found BEFORE I did the book version grrrrr) do you have to do the allow to cool step? Or add the oil straight away??

To make your playdough a really sensual experience, try adding rose geranium oil to pink playdough and peppermint oil to green.

I always use baby oil for playdough.  Work really well.

kids are loving this but finding it dries out real quick especially in winter with ducted heating, do you think bit more oil would help??

I doubled the recipe today and thermie coped well.  I just used the knead setting instead of the speed dial when adding the flour (I do this with large amounts of dough). This is the first time I haven't allowed the dough to cool and I don't think it made any difference.  I won't be waiting anymore.  :)
