My ds's b-day party is on the 18th. I was wondering if anyone has a recipe for homemade playdough. I know there is several recipes online. There are so many that I was wondering if anyone has a favorite that works well for them.

Also, anyone make homemade bubbles?

We use this recipe and have never had the Kool-Aid stain anything. Now that you brought that up, I'm wondering why not.
