Easy Playdough Recipe No Cook

Sharing is caring!

It’s the middle of January and we’re finally, sorta back into our routine around here! Part of our routine is daily quiet time. Our now 4 year old stopped taking naps when she was about 2.5 or 3. But we started having daily quiet time so the baby can still get his nap in and let’s be honest so I can have some quiet time too! During quiet time there’s books, puzzles, quiet time boxes (that’s for another blog post), and one of our favorites, playdough! And I have this easy playdough recipe that you don’t even have to cook!
