How to Make No-Cook Play Dough Easily

1. • 

     I totally stole this from HERE.  It's super easy to make, and is a fraction of the cost of the real stuff.  We've made this a few times, and it's great to know that it's 100% safe if it's eaten...it's a little salty, though.  Have fun, and enjoy this recipe!
