Mix all the ingredients in the saucepan and make sure to stir constantly. Cook dough over on medium heat until the dough falls away from the sides of the pan. Remove the cooked dough and knead it for 3 to 5 minutes.

Go!

It’s Playdough time! This recipe makes very smooth and pliable dough that’s just right for little hands. Set Playdough out on a clean surface and enjoy the fun!

Make sure to store the dough in an air-tight container. There is no need to refrigerate it.
