    I just found your website today and made the rubbery playdough with my four year old son. What a great recipe! The dough has a great consistancy and it was very easy to make. I’m looking forward to trying out more of your recipes soon and sharing them with some of the other kinder and fist grade teachers at work. Thanks so much!

    Made this today. It was very easy but when we played with it we did have a baking soda residue all over our hands which I don’t really care for.

    Do you need to refrigerate this dough to make it last? or can you leave it in plastic containers or ziploc type bags at room temp?
