#42 Make Homemade Play Dough

As a kindergarten teacher, I make homemade play dough at least once a year.  However, the boys have never helped me before.

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
