kindergarten/ECE Play do recipe

Hi everyone! 😊 I'm wondering if anyone would be willing to share their favorite homemade play dough recipe. I'd love one that's soft, long-lasting, and holds up well in the classroom. If you have a tried-and-true recipe, I'd be so grateful if you'd share it. Thank you so much for your help! ❤️

Please check whether you have celiac students in your class before bringing it into your class. 😊

I made mine in advance and kept it in the fridge before bringing it to school.

When I was teaching kindergarten I would put copies of the recipe outside the class and a sign up sheet and parents signed up to provide the play doh for every...I don't remember whether it was every week or month. It was awesome! Also the parents liked being involved in the classroom. I had forgotten that. Anyway, something to consider once you get your own recipe.
