Use salt and you can use the almond flavouring to make it smell nice but they won't touch it once tasted! Also, the recipe makes masses more than the bought stuff and lasts in the fridge for ages.

They've always bypassed us when we've bought it in...
To be honest, your kids lose most of it in the seat and footwells anyway and you'll be picking it out of your hair and soles of your shoes for months.

Aw, poor deprived kids.
There are more recipes out there - just google playdough recipe. All pretty much the same I think. Have a read to see which takes your fancy.

Re: Playdough
I always made my (the girls) own. The smell of any of the manufactured ones used to bring on a migraine so couldn't have it in the house. Even got the playgroup to make their own so my kids didn't come home smelling of the stuff Good job I have never shared a plane with a child playing with it :scared:
