How to Make Bouncing Play-Doh Without Cooking

Play-Doh is a safe, nontoxic way for your child to express his inner sculptor. Unfortunately, a missing cap or art work left on the table will dry out and end up in the trash, along with your money. Save money and create an art project at the same time by making your own bouncing Play Dough that requires no cooking, making it safer for your kids. Enjoy the homemade Play Dough with your kids, but don̵7;t let them eat it, to avoid a belly ache.
