The first task was to talk Lennon out of wanting brown play dough. Watching my kids play with what looks like poo was just not what I had in mind. We settled on orange and began to mix.
I must say I like the texture of homemade play dough far more than the store bought variety. One batch makes plenty for a family of four.
We all had a blast creating with play dough. The boys even made masks for their faces (Hey, I wonder if play dough is good for your complexion?)
The best part of making play dough? We had a full hour of peace and cooperation in our house. That's 60 entire minutes without one pinch, punch, kick, scream, taunt, plea, threat, or "I'm telling Mommy!" I don't know about your house, but in our house that's priceless!
If you, too crave an hour of peace you can find a good play dough recipe HERE
