Today’s tutorial is not new on your boredom buster list but this homemade play dough recipe does store well (it lasts all summer long!) and doesn’t make your hands dry so it’s a definite keeper in our families!   The directions are simple to follow and you will learn how to make playdough.  You can add different scents and use the playdough recipe again and again!

    What a great idea!! I hate the nasty smell on my hands after playing with regular play dough, so this would have been a great alternative for us! We are nearing the end of play-dough-playing years with our crew, but I will be sure to share with my friends so they can make it for their young ones.

(Like Mickey!) I started 30days several years ago as my idea file. After 9 years and thousands of ideas, I realize I’ll never be able to check them all off my list.
