Be careful not to spill it on carpets, as it can get stuck in the fiber. This homemade playdough should be stored in sealed bags or containers with air-tight lids.
This makes a great gift idea at birthday parties. Put the playdough into Ziploc bags then into mason jars, label and seal with love.
I labeled our jars with Martha Stewart chalk lables. But if you want to use sticker labels, here are large labels (for large jars) and circle labels (for small jars) for you to download and print to name your jars and gifts!
