Playdough is a versatile thing that you can make using the ingredients from your pantry. They pave the way for more imagination and every kid would love to squish them. Nathan loves playdough from a very young age and loves to play with them. The store-bought one has loaded with chemicals and costs a bomb. This recipe is versatile and pocket friendly. I stopped getting playdough from the store and just stored them properly and reused them for weeks together.
