Have You Ever Made a Dorodango Mud Ball?

i started one last night, but i dont think its going to work very well, i used a more soil-like earth, than dirt. so it feels a little but too muddy. but i did find this website that had some insight www.dorodango.com

dust pies, Play-Doh pies and authentic pies were the thrilling situations spent with the youngsters and grandchildren. Letting their little palms come across the fashion to knead and roll out dough is an fairly good lesson in existence, and it would not count number no matter if that's authentic dough , Play-Doh or dust pies. This grandma does all of it.

its very messy and when i saw it on mythbusters i had to try it but i don't think its worth it. I couldn't find any instructional videos on youtube that were in english and dorodango.com was a little unclear
