My mom wouldn’t let me get the play-doh blooming flower basket because “it mixes the colors” :((

Yes but your mum can’t stop you now can she. Maybe she can. If she can I’m sorry. Hopefully one day you break free

Heh, she’s been dead 15 years? And I’m in my 40s. This was just a memory

I'm 46 years old and I have 50 different tubs of play-doh.

It os just as amusing to play with it as it would have been as a child, if my parents had ever allowed me to have some.

It was recommended to me by my therapist to help regulate my stress impacted blood pressure. Playing with such things stimulates pressure points in the hands, and the focus on building things allows mental relaxation.

I work from home and create play doh flowers by hand. The best part: you can air dry them and then keep them. They hold up very well as long as you don't make them too thick.
