If you go to perpetualpreschool.com you can find many recipes for playdough you make yourself. There’s one that uses unsweetened Kool Aid ( a chance to make incredible flavors) and others that use coffee and cinnamon. Try mixing the last 2 together. Unbelievable.

You HAVE to get the BLACK! Did your set have the black? It’s jet black, inky black. I love it.

Always freaked about mixing colors and then thought, “What?? Mix those damn colors!!” It’s cool and you can always buy more.

Imagine… Holly’s Animated Life, Play-Doh Edition!

When Play-Doh turned 50, they had 50-packs of tiny containers. Yes, 50 colors. I nearly flipped out. I bought two, one for each girl. I dole out 3 colors at a time. (I think 6, total, must be the household limit!)

On the other hand, it does kind of ruin the play-doh to mix the colors because then you have 24 tubs of brown. So he’s not completely wrong.

Play-doh reminds me of rainy summer days because that’s what the kids would pull out to play with.

I ended up finding pieces of it all over the house, even though they weren’t allowed to leave the kitchen table with it!

And I just hate when you mix the colors and it gets hard!!!

Play-doh perfume – who knew?

I don’t like getting the colors mixed up either but I am inspired by your post. I think I will get some and let them use their creativity and add it to Camp Cammie!

OK, the snake represented in your name? Hmmm… it is very cute, but should I be concerned about that? hehehehe

You are brilliant! I can’t tell you how much beige-y/gray play-doh we have.

I view part of our job as mothers to be creating those little quirks that some future woman will find endearing – or infuriating.

That’s so funny! We’ve ALWAYS been really particular about not mixing the Play-doh colors. If you do then your colors get ruined and I just can’t handle that. Does that make me a little anal? Maybe. Am I holding my kids back from their full creative potential? Maybe. But it’s just not right. All Play-doh must find its way back to its proper colored container at the end of the day. And don’t even think about mixing up the colored lids!

One colour at a time! Brilliant. We always end up with beige playdoh because my boys mix all the colours together. It’s a nasty shade, but still fun.

I’m so in for the play-doh perfume. I loved the smell when I was a kid. Yeah, ok, so maybe I still love the smell. Don’t judge! LOL
