Best Playdough Recipe

As I start to think about setting up my classroom in a few weeks, I think about what jobs can be done ahead of time. One is making Playdough for the classroom. While I know there are hundreds of ways to make it and no one person can claim ownership to the recipe,  this one I credit to my dear friend Lee.
Lee was one of the best Early Childhood teachers I ever had the pleasure to work with. In 1998, Lee suffered a massive heart attack and collapsed in front of her Kindergarten class. I still shake my head at the thought of that morning and how this wonderful teacher died doing the work she loved. It's been well over 10 years since her passing, but I think of her every time I reach for the recipe!
I am sharing Lee's recipe and hope that you'll try it. I think you'll really like it. I know it would bring Lee great joy to know that children all over the country were playing with Playdough shared in her memory!
