Toy TRIVIA Play-Doh

Play-Doh was first manufactured in Cincinnati, Ohio as a wallpaper cleaner in the 1930s. The product was reworked and marketed to Cincinnati schools in the mid-1950s. Play-Doh was demonstrated at an educational convention in 1956 and prominent department stores opened retail accounts. Advertisements promoting PlayDoh on influential children's television shows in 1957 furthered the product's sales. Since its launch on the toy market in the mid-1950s, PlayDoh has generated a considerable amount of ancillary merchandise such as the Fun Factory.

SODUKO Here’s How It Works:

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

your icing is too thick, add in a tiny bit of milk.

Use a piping bag, or a ziplock bag (with the corner snipped off ), or a plastic squeeze bottle to pipe the icing onto the cookies.
