Safe Home made playing dough- loved by kids..

My daughter just loves to play with colorful playing dough. She got the playing dough in her second birthday by one of her aunt. After that , I noticed she really enjoyed making different shapes and just love to spend time with it in compare to other toys. But one day I noticed, she is taking it in her mouth unconsciously(normally every kids has the habit of putting things in their mouth). I was worried when I saw  her taking the dough in her mouth. So I decided to prepare the dough by myself and got the idea from Google maharaj.😀

1. Wheat flour – 1 bowl
2. Cornflour – 1/2  bowl
3. Baking soda- 1/4 tsp
4. Salt – 1 tsp

Preserving:
Put the clay in the refrigerator after your kids play with it. Its life is 15 to 20 days. Put it in an air tight container. After 10 days just use your mumma’s sense in judging whether its quality is still good or not.

If You put it in freezer it will long last for more than a month. But please use your own judgment by smelling the dough. I just take it out 3 to 4 hours before my daughter playing time.
