I found this recipe for homemade play dough, as I am sick of buying the stuff only for it to go hard and become unuseable.

This stuff really works. I gave the kids some cookie cutters and rolling pins and they had a ball. It kept them amused for a whole hour!

One tip I read on another blog though, if you add a drop of vanilla essensce it not only stops the dough from moulding, but also makes it smell beautiful.
