It worked! We had fun when we were mixing it all up! We loved touching the clay. We even practiced making the vowels. The oil looked different than the other stuff.

Great Recipe! Make sure to keep it moving after you flip it out of the pan onto the wax paper. And keep it in a ziploc baggy to insure freshness!

This recipe is really great. Instead of food coloring, I like to use 2 packets of kool-aid or unsweetened drink mix. It has great color and amazing smell.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! This is a must for all teachers: even in 1st grade children learn states of matter and how they change. Last year I used the crayon maker. But you had to use crayons to make crayons. This one! Abs. fabulous. My first graders can make the playdoh and my kinders can make letters with the playdoh! How wonderful!

Great recipe and super easy to do, but don't forget the cream of tartar! I started making it and realized I didn't have any. The 1st day it was fine, but the next day it turned into a mushy mess.

I am an RA at UW-Parkside. I made this dough for a program in the Residence Hall. It turned out pretty ok. We didn't have any cream of tartar so it didn't stretch very well (about 6 inches was the max before it broke).

We used Hawaiian Punch single serves (dollar store, 8 for a dollar) and Kool-Aid mix (2 quart). The yellow didn't work very well. Purple was bluish and red was pinkish. The orange Kool-Aid packet really turned the dough orange. It was awesome!

Decent recipe, too bad I couldn't comment on the cream of tartar.

I had high hopes for this recipe. I was looking for something easier than the stove-top directions. This was definitely easier, and due ease of use I would probably make it again. However the consistency was not nearly as elastic and smooth as when the ingredients have actually been cooked together.

This is a great, non-cook recipe. Quick to mix up and works well!
