#How To Start A Playdough Business

Nobody warned me… that I’d fall THIS in love with owning a small business. Starting a playdough company sounded like fun—but I didn’t realize it would become my whole heart (and half my wardrobe… playdough everywhere… 😜). Every time I hear that your kids are loving their kits and that it’s making your days a little easier, it makes all of the hard (and messy) work more than worth it. Happy Small Business Week to all of my fellow small biz owners who continue to show up every day! It’s a wild ride #kids #momlife #birthday #partyfavors #partyfavorsforkids #partyplanner #creative #party #fun #playdough #smallbusiness #smallbusinessowner

I had a tiny, kinda silly idea to make faith-based playdough kits… and God is doing COOL things with it! Spring collabs 🌸 A huge summer project ☀️ And so many little hands learning about Jesus. Follow along to see what He does next 🤍 I’m just the one wrapping dough. He’s doing the rest. 🥹 #GodDidThat #KingdomWork #FaithPlay #christianmoms #sensoryplay

Pull up a chair 🪑 Grab your pencils ✏️ Let’s make some money 🤑 How to start a business 101 (when you have zero clue what you wanna do & what you’re doing lol) 7 steps condensed down into 120 seconds… but there’s so much more to say! Should I make a full YouTube video? Sidebar: I honestly don’t think there’s a better time to start a business than right now. AI is creating so much possibility and the barrier to entry is low if you’re creative & strategic & scrappy! People want better! What kind of business have you always thought about starting? 🤔 You got this! 👏🏼 #business #howto #careeradvice P.S. If you comment "SIDEHUSTLE" I'll send you a list of my favorite side hustles (super specfic and not pyramid schemes!)

I’m just starting my small business and would truly appreciate your support and a follow 💛 Here you’ll find kids’ creative kits designed to inspire imagination, creativity, and fun 🎨 Perfect for screen-free play, gifts, birthdays, or quality time with your child. Each kit is handmade with care and made from safe, high-quality materials ✨ Order yours on our website — link in bio 🛍️ #smallbusinessusa #supportsmallbusiness #handmadewithlove #kidsactivities #creativekids

Making the plaster figures only takes about 1 hour, but the full drying process takes up to 3 days. After that, the kits still need to be packed, shipped, and delivered from Florida to your home. I often have up to 10 kits in stock, but not always and not for every shape. I always start working on orders within the first 24 hours after purchase, but unfortunately I can’t speed up the drying process. If you need 1–10 kits, feel free to message my Etsy shop and I’ll let you know if they’re in stock and when they can be shipped. 😊

This doesn’t include all the snacks which was a real motivator 😅 Each kid gets an hourly percentage for themselves (plus bonuses if they break a sales record) and then the rest goes back into the business to pay for filament, printers, and saving for big things to come!

You guys!! Our Grab & Go Dough Jars are HERE and I couldn’t be more excited! 🙌💖 These aren’t just any dough jars—each one comes with our all-natural, scented dough in one jar and the cutest little goodies in the other so your kiddos can create their own mini magical world wherever you are. ✨ Perfect for keeping them busy at restaurants, in the car, or even as party favors and stocking stuffers! Sensory play just got SO much easier and way more fun! 💫 Who’s ready for some mess-free, grab-and-go magic?! 🎉 #GrabAndGo #SensoryPlay #YoungWildAndFriedman

truly BEST homemade Playdough ✨ recipe below ⬇️ You can add glitter or anything else you want to it too. Full recipe below, or comment FUN and I’ll send you a printable recipe card to your DMs 🧡 Ingredients: * 2 cups of flour * 4 teaspoons cream of tartar * 1/2 cup salt * 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil (I use coconut) * 2 cups warm water * Food colouring Method: 1. Add all the ingredients to a large pot. If you are doing one colour, add the food colouring now, as it is easier to mix in. For multiple colours, wait until Step 4. 2. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly. At first, the mixture will be quite liquid-y, but with about 5 minutes of cooking and stirring, it will come together as a dough. 3. Remove from heat and place dough inside a large bowl. Once cool enough to touch, knead until smooth (mine usually only needs a couple of kneads and it’s perfect!). 4. Food colouring instructions to make multiple colours - divide the dough into balls (for example 5 balls if you are making 5 colours), and add each dough ball to a ziplock bag. Add 5-10 drops of food colouring into each ziplock bag, close, and then knead the dough while inside the bag so it doesn’t stain your hands. Keep these bags for storage of your play dough - it will last 3 months at room temp in ziplocks! 5. Once it’s cool enough for little hands, you’re ready to play! Don’t forget to comment FUN for the printable recipe card to be sent straight to your DMs ✨🧡 • • • • #playdough #playdoughfun #playdoughrecipe #mumlife #mumlifeisthebestlife #toddlermumlife #craftideasforkids #childhoodfun #easycraftsforkids #motherhoodismagic
