Today I am thrilled to be featuring the best posts of 2014 from my own site as well as those of some of my favorite kid bloggers! I already wrote about my five posts that received the most pageviews in 2014, but all five of those posts were well-established – over five years old. Today I am featuring a post of mine that was written in 2014 and did really well!
I have written about play dough recipes several times, but I really streamlined the process WITH my favorite play dough recipe as I prepared for my daughter’s eighth birthday party! Emma wanted to have several different colors of homemade play dough for her friends to enjoy, and with a little bit of thought I figured out a way to easily make several colors of homemade play dough while using only a single pan! I also realized that one of the things that can make it challenging to get a homemade play dough recipe to turn out well is that it can be hard to know what you are watching for when you are cooking play dough, so this post also includes detailed instructions and photos showing how to make the perfect play dough.
The Best Kid Blogger Posts of 2014
Each of my blogging friends who participated in this activity chose a single post to include in. The post was either their most popular in terms of page views or it was one that was particularly meaningful to them. All of the posts are carefully written, and well worth visiting! I also created a Pinterest board of these posts that you can pin from and return to as a reference. The pins on this board are not sorted into categories, but they can easily be pinned onto any of your boards.
You can find the best kid blogger posts from 2013 here:

Love the post you chose to feature. Simple playdough (without all the glittery, smelly stuff) is such a staple in the house!

I really should make play dough more often, but I’ve got this hang up about it. My kids love it when I do.
I have a lot of friends who share your hang-up, which is part of why play dough is always such a hit at my kids’ birthday parties.
Fantastic! Just glancing over the pictures I’ve already found a must do!
Hooray! I was hoping this would prove a great resource.
