It can become super heated and then boil violently when the container is disturbed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/homemade-playdough#post-2826319 Tue, 05 Jun 2018 03:51:48 +0000 meadow 2826319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Omg.

Or even a coffee pot (just run through plain water with no coffee grounds). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/homemade-playdough#post-2826133 Mon, 04 Jun 2018 08:41:55 +0000 Mamaof2 2826133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@meadow: I don't have a recipe but what about putting hot water in a thermos and bringing that in? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/homemade-playdough#post-2826105 Sun, 03 Jun 2018 20:24:16 +0000 lindseykaye 2826105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are you set on flour/salt dough? We like ‘cloud dough’ which is made with corn starch and conditioner. Super soft, smells great, moldable. You can use cheap dollar store conditioner too, no need for expensive stuff. The downside is I don’t think it hardens up air drying the same way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/homemade-playdough#post-2826060 Sun, 03 Jun 2018 13:18:28 +0000 Jennibenni 2826060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don’t have one, but I wonder if it would help to add more flour, same as if dough for baking is too sticky? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/homemade-playdough#post-2826052 Sun, 03 Jun 2018 11:11:44 +0000 meadow 2826052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone have a good playdough recipe without hot water? I am going to make some with my students this week but only have access to room temp water. I found some online &amp; tested 2 last week and they came out so sticky :( </p>
