It's been a while since I made this recipe and I haven't got my EDC with me - does this playdough have a 'shelf life'?

Yes but not sure how long. Our playdough activities tend to be quite sporadic. Gets a lot of use then sits in the fridge for ages... Reason for this new batch: last one was going mouldy!!

 :) i made this again last week for the kids.
lasts about 1 month in the fridge, or it goes mouldy.

heaps faster and cheaper though bought play dough.

Oh golly I love this stuff!!

I use the recipe with 280gms flour, 15gm oil. I add the color in with the water at the start. And don't let it cool between stages.

This is honestly the BEST playdough around, I love that it takes about 2 minutes of my time, and max 10 before it's on the table ready for play.

I think I may have saved myself a small fortune on playdough just with thermy  :D We make up 2 batches a week at them moment with this wintery weather!

Wrapped up in clingfilm, lasts for weeks!

 :D Dede, I did, until I restricted playdough use to the kitchen table. Now, it is much easier to handle!

Playdough is the lesser of two evils... sand is what I really hate. Offer playdough to keep them out of the sand pit I say!!!
Trick is to let it dry and then vacuum up!!!

Dede, you may well hear me change my tune. It has been a while since we had play dough but we are almost approved to be foster carers opting for 0-5 year old so perhaps I should keep my mouth shut for now.
