Warmer weather is here, finally! I am so excited to be able to spend time outdoors with my family and enjoy the nice days. However, sometimes rain can damper that day planned outside!! These are the days that I look for ideas of things to do indoors with my family. One idea is this adorable DIY Flower Garden Playdough which will provide hours of fun and creativity for your little ones. This playdough is so easy to make and uses products from your home that are safe! After we make this recipe and play, we need an easy clean up! I love that the NEW sulfate free all® fresh clean ESSENTIALS® delivers a powerful clean without harshness.

2.   Heat the pan over medium heat, stirring continuously until a stiff ball of dough forms and you can stir no longer it easily (3-4 minutes).

3.    Remove the dough from the pan and  knead it for 3-4 minutes on a flat workspace while it is still warm.

4.   Separate the dough into 4 even sections.  Press your finger into the middle of each piece to create a ‘well’.

5.  In the first piece, add pink food coloring to the ‘well’ and knead until the color is evenly distributed.  You may find it easier to knead the dough in a plastic bag to eliminate getting any food color on your hands.
