When my son started preschool, I didn’t realize how much “homework” I would end up having. Making homemade play dough was one of them but it turned out to be quite fun; as an added bonus, I finally found a use for cream of tartar (who knew?!). Anyway, I searched online for a simple recipe and came across one on Pinterest from Art Nest. The consistency was great, the colors are endless (it’s a great project to help your kids learn which combination of colors make new ones!) and it didn’t have the smell you’d get with the store-bought kind. It was also a great workout for my forearms but the best part was having my son enjoy it with his classmates.

TIP: This is a great party activity and party favor!
