How to Make Easter Playdough

To begin, I mixed up a batch of my quick playdough recipe. I was in the mood for pink, so I added pink food coloring.

After preparing the batch of playdough, I added some Easter grass to create a unique texture in the dough. Let your kids help cut up the Easter grass. Not only will they love it, but it is a great way to give them some cutting practice.
