[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 709477, member: 1233"] Homemade playdough is great for developing those muscles!! I used to make it with koolaid to give it a scent for the kids - it was super popular and easy to make - no boiling on the stove! You just use hot water from a tea kettle instead. Here is a link to the recipe I used: [URL="http://www.the36thavenue.com/kool-aid-playdough-recipe/"]Play Dough Recipe - Kool-Aid Playdough - The 36th AVENUE[/URL] For Easter I used to put small balls into easter eggs in ziplocs.
