Guest guest Posted November 19, 2001 Report Share Posted November 19, 2001 Loren: I make play-doh every week for my son, the best recipe is the one in Karyn Seroussi's book. " Unraveling the Mysteries of Autism and Pervasive Development Disorders " . I've tried to make several other recipes, including a mix from Miss Roben, but this one comes out the best. I made one recipe that had the teachers and the kids laughing in my son's class, it was so sticky no one could get it off their hands! But everyone had a great time.

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2001 Report Share Posted November 20, 2001 Hi , I usually don't add food coloring, since I have not added any artificial colors or flavors back into my son's diet, so I can't help you there. I would like to try to experiment with natural food coloring though. I would say to make a new batch at least once a week. If it can be refrigerated at school, it could last a bit longer. I read a post where someone used the same recipe and used half the oil called for in the recipe, I think that I will try this next time, because it can tend to get a bit oily, but it's the only recipe that has come as close to the real thing. Good Luck. Re: Play-Doh > Thank you. I have tried 2 recipes so far and both are sticky like > you mentioned.
