What do I do?!?!?

I've got 5 pots of cheap play dough that now resembles gloop not dough!

I know she hasn't put liquid in it, so it's just the product.

How do I firm it up again?

Freeze it? Leave it out of its container for a while and see if it dries out a bit? Bin it?

Isn't that what play dough is for?

I'll leave it out over night and if that doesn't fix it I'll bun it and make a batch myself, I made it before but she was way too young to know what to do with it. The recipe I know has heaps of salf in it - maybe that will deter her - doubt it!

Don't count on it. I loved my mum's homemade playdough because of the salt

Flour and lots of kneading...thats what works with my play dough recipes that are too sticky! Good luck!

I loved playdough as well and sand

You could add some flour to it and salt???
