I have a recipe for play-dough.
I thought it might make a cheap and fun gift to give to the kids that my 4 yr old DS plays with.
I can't decide which would be cooler - so opinions please
1) I can put the ingredients into a container and share the recipe and how to make it
or 2) I just make it and put it into the container

I just picked up card games at Target. The Monopoly and Scrabble cards, about $5 a pack will be great for my sister's family game nights. A twist on the old time games with no small peices to be swallowed or lost.

I think the ingredients is fun with instructions. You could always add some cookie cutters (plastic) from a dollar store

As a former educator i used homemade play-doh in my learning centers. I am unable to find that particular recipe which kept well. My new recipe calls for koolaid flavors (if you wish -both for smell and color which are exciting for young students. )I made some for my grandson the other day and within 5 days it molded. So... if I could see your recipe then maybe I could re-create my school days recipe and it would last longer for Austin to use when he visits me.
