Playtime: Playdough

Happy Labor Day! To me, Labor day means the pool is closing AND I get an extra day with my husband. Oh... and it generally means my birthday is a few days away! 

So today we decided was the perfect day for a play day... with playdough. Is it bad to admit that my kids have never played with playdough before? well, they  haven't. But today, was our first day! Our one year old was pretty apathetic, but my two year old LOVED it. We had a blast. So here is the recipe:

Playdough:
1 cup Flour
1 cup Water
2 teas Cream of Tartar
1/2 cup Salt
1 TB Oil
food coloring


It's really easy and it stores really easily in a plastic bag in the freezer! I will definitely be making more!

Medicine Jar Maracas

As part of our typical, playtime Monday activity we made medicine jar Maracas Hayden really wanted in on the action and Eldon loves shaking things and making noise. The boys had a ton of fun! It occupied them for AT LEAST half an hour while i finished up some dishes! They make me smile!

So, what are you waiting for? Make some of your own!
AND DANCE!!!
