Homemade Play dough

My Grandma used to make this for us kids we loved it. and I made it for my kids. The kids love playing with it and you do not have to worry if they decide to eat a little (Which has happened haha) And you can let the kids pick out what color they want . One time I used a package of Kool-aid and it smelled great and colored it.
