Play Doh Eaters


It didn't really surprise me when it happened, I was more surprised at the amount, a 1/4 jar to my estimates...You have guessed it by now Play Doh...Now it has no nutritional value so why do they eat it..It's like a right of passage into toddler hood of sorts...I don't even see the first bites go in. Perhaps it's the way it squishes through there fingers, maybe the sharp scent it has or it could be the creative freedom, that always leads to kids tasting it, some kids just lick it, but I do know there is a real connection between the kids who eat Play Doh and the kids who eat Paste....I have a great recipe and what ever you do don't try and remove from the carpet or clothing with water...let it dry and then scrape it off.....
2 c boiling water
1/2 c salt
2 tbsp oil
1/2 c salt
1 container of Alum
2 c flour
Food coloring and scent (essential oils or all spice)
Add the salt and oil to boiling water then all dry ingrediants, store in a air tight container and it will last for months....if they dont eat it......
