Play-Doh is not just fun for the kiddos. It is fun for the mommies too. My daughter has been on a huge Play-Doh kick lately. While picking up her piles of dough all over the coffee table, I decided it was playtime for me. Here is a mommy original Play-Doh sculpture.
I used one of Mai’s toy rolling pins to flatten out the dough.
With one of her toy knives, I cut out a circle.
Working from the bottom, I pinched & pleated the circle all the way around to form a pinched cylinder like shape that is slightly pointed on the bottom.
I repeated the first two steps & then formed another pinched layer underneath the first, working the two layers together.
Continue with these steps 1 & 2 and keep layering until you achieve the fullness for your flower that you would like. Add green Play Doh for leaves.

I love what you created here and I was gifted Play-Doh as a gag gift after writing up my Meltdown story about it. May have to actually use it for now!! 🙂
Lol! I will have to read it. You have told me about the Play-doh meltdown before. I will have to check it out. The rose came from one bored night.I liked my rose, so I had to share.
Great job, Mom!! It looks lovely 🙂
Thank you, JOy!
I moulded my little mans first birthday cake all with royal icing…. Very like playduh to work with. You should try it out too when you have a cake to make!!
I wish I knew that. My daughter just had a birthday & I had a heck of a time trying to carry out my vision. Molding would be far easier. How does it taste?
It tastes lovely, maybe not a massive chunk on its own tho. Royal icing and a bit of natural food colouring. Sorry for late reply…. Only getting back to my blogging self now.
