I have been seeing this stuff pop up everywhere so I decided to try making it on my own. It is a mixture of playdoh and moon sand. It is dough that can be left out and doesn't dry out. Perfect for kids, right? I hate pulling out the playdoh only to find a hard lump in there. This stuff was super easy to make! You can even have the chitlins help make it =) I made it to keep my little guy and a couple kids I watch entertained. It did the trick. The only thing is is it can be a bit messy/.....it has the benefits of playdoh, but the messiness of sand....but it is still fun and if you make the kids play with it in a jelly-roll pan then most of the mess gets contained. =)
8 cups four
1 cup baby oil (to make it smell sweet, use the lavender =) )
(this wasn't a complete batch....I didn't have quite 1 cup oil so I used about 3/4 cup oil and 6 cups flour)
I haven't experimented with colors so I'm not sure about those, but if you add colors, leave a comment and let me know how it turned out for you.
p.s. Don't let the kids pour water into it....it makes an ooey-gooey mess and ruins it......

This sounds amazingly simple yet all kinds of fun! I wonder if you can substitute types of flour (we've recently gone gluten-free). I imagine I can figure out one way to find out! I'm pinning this.
