Grandma Pam's Play dough

Growing up, playing with playdough was one of my favorite things to do. My mom's playdough is the best homemade recipe that I have found. It is cheap and so simple to make. I love making it in different colors for different holidays. Today we made St. Patrick's Day playdough...here is how you do it!
