RE: Children's Play Dough
These are terrific recipes, my other recipes called for cream of tartar; and that is not
"cheap". I didn't know about alum, though. (01/14/2006)

RE: Children's Play Dough
I have a recipe that uses a package of unsweetened Kool-Aid instead of food color. Gives it color and a nice smell. (01/26/2006)
