The playdough came out great!
It didn't take very long to make and the video was very methodical so you couldn't mess it up.

It seemed a bit long for an easy how to, but at least it gave you an idea of how fast it would go in the kitchen. So I have mixed feelings on the length. One recommendation I have is reducing the amount of food coloring a tad. Mine came out a bit to dark.

Really enjoyed Effie and her grandson!

I always tried to make playdough for my daughter but it always turned our grainy. Your recipe worked perfectly the first time I tried it. It is nice to see what to do step-by-step. It would be great if there was a way to make playdough that didn't require the use of the stove so the little ones can help out. But I do know that my daughter will have hours of fun playing with her new playdough! :)

Grandma Effie does a great job walking you through a simple recipe for making homemade playdough. She tells you the entire recipe and then shows you how it all comes together.

Room for improvement? The production was a little on the rough side, with the entire scene being backlit a bit too much, and the overall video quality seemed a little rough. Finally I'm not sure if something went wrong with the very end of the music track or if it was supposed to end like that.

Very minor though! Great video!
