build a bowl

Our bowl is made with blue Play-Doh compound, but you can use any color you’d like. Flatten one piece into a circular shape, then kneed outward to create an indented rim. Roll another piece into a ball, then press down in the center and form into a bowl shape. Place the bowl onto the flattened piece. So decorative!
