Looking back over the years I had almost forgotten that my son hated play dough when I first presented it to him! Since then we have made so many variants of homemade play dough – some from natural ingredients, some bright and colorful, some seasonal, and some just a little bit different! Play dough is now a BIG part of our home life and I am so pleased that my son overcame is initial reservations!
