Jello Play Dough

I have some silly friends.  {You know who you are.}  We were trying to come up with links for a friend doing an ice cream round up post.  It dissolved into a fit of giggles with talks of all the different ingredients you could use to make play dough.  Well, I ran with it.  And that’s how this Jello Play Dough was born.

I adapted my recipe from Desiree’s Kool Aid Play Dough recipe!  It think the gelatin made some difference in the consistency but it works great and smells so good!

This is a fun and easy project to whip up on a rainy day!  Not to mention, it will keep the kiddos entertained for hours!  Reed had so much fun helping make it!
