Participants: Ash, Lavender, Peony, Viola, Reed
Difficulty: It requires attention and minimal distraction while you are doing the stuff on the stove because it gets ready fast (think: soupy, soupy, slightly less soupy, OMG IT'S DONE). The actual process is pretty straightforward. I did three batches - yellow, blue, and green.
Prep: Plan on a half hour to do this. Especially if you will have a toddler helping you measure and pour the ingredients. Ash and I made this on a weekend.
Mess: Not bad. The pot cleaned up with soap and water. I cleaned the pot between each batch.
Cleanup: The dough itself is great - it has stayed soft even after several weeks and it doesn't flake into tiny pieces. When we're cleaning up we take a larger chunk and smoosh it onto the smaller chunks, super easy.
Age Range: It's all non-toxic, so really any age as long as they have the motor skills to manipulate it.
Verdict: LOVE THIS. I've made a few playdough recipes, and this one really is the best. It's still soft and pliable, I love the texture, and it makes a TON. Each batch made almost a softball sized lump. The three batches made more than enough for five kids. I used coconut oil, and it smells SO MUCH BETTER than store playdough. I don't think I'll bother buying it again!
