I have discovered the secret to long bursts of quiet enjoyment with my little one - Make play doh - it is simple and can provide hours of play. I encourage you to make this salt dough with your little ones, let them help as much as possible measuring and pouring ingredients. Add food colors and enjoy color mixing and modeling with it. Get out your cookie cutters, rolling pins and play bakery! The possibilities for this dough are endless! One of the favorite attractions of this is the warm feeling when it is fresh out of pot.
