Playdough
As a mom, there are a few things that I really don’t like. For example: waking up to a sick toddler, you know they’re not old enough to get to the bathroom on time. But that’s a whole different story and we’re not going there! another annoyance I have isn’t as huge but just as annoying. it’s Playdough. yeah it sounds nice and looks pretty and feels squishy but I don’t like it one bit! It gets ground into carpet and is hard to get out. I guess that’s my biggest issue with it, it makes a mess. All that aside today I figured it was nice out and I’d get the playdough out and the girls could play with it outside. The only problem is our table outside is like mesh so not a good surface for playing play dough. I looked and looked but could not find a plastic table cloth. So to improvise until I can get a plastic one I gave the girls some plates to work on. (ya got to be quick thinking as a momma) So the girls happily played for 1-2 hours with out fighting! I have a simple recipe for making your own playdough that I was ready to fall back on should our playdough be dried out. But it wasn’t all except the yellow. I’ll share the recipe with you some other time!
anyways this post I’m trying to add a photo, we’ll see if it works. This blog is new to me. I have another blog that I’m still posting to. I just thought I’d try this one out for a while.
Playdough was one of my favorite things as a kid. Probably because it was a treat to get to play with it. The first time I started pulling out the Playdough for my own kids, I remember wondering why my mom made such a big deal about playing with it. It didn’t take me long to figure it out - it gets ground into the carpet and days after playing with it I find little chunks of Playdough in odd spots around the house. Of course, my kids looooove Playdough. Sigh…glad I went for an inexpensive throw rug in their room!
Great photo! The girls are looking older everytime I see them!
