In A Nutshell
Home made play dough is softer and easier to work with than the store-bought versions. Make a batch ahead and it will last for several weeks.

Extras
If you’ve never made your own play dough, give this easy recipe a try. Because of the great consistency, you’ll never go back to the store-bought type. We use play dough with school-age children when we do a lesson on Noah. Have them make two of as many animals as they can think of, then line them up on the table.
