Broke...check!
Need fun activity to do with toddler...check!
MAKE SOME HOMEMADE PLAY DOUGH!
I remembered how Mel's mom saved the day a few years ago when a group of us pulled out Cranium one snowy day and found dried up play dough. Being the forward thinking Kindergarten teacher that she is, she whipped us up a new batch!
I thought CR2 may get a kick out of the squishy texture, and if he decided to take a bite...no harm done!
I found this little recipe in a google search:
Ingredients:
- 3 C flour
- 1 1/2 C salt
- 3 C water
- 1 T vegetable oil
- 1 T cream of tartar
- food coloring or kool-Aide
Directions:
- Mix ingredients in a large sauce pan over medium heat until dough pulls away from edges
- turn out of pan and knead 3 - 4 times when cool
-store dough in air tight container
-PLAY!
We have played with our creation a few times, and CR2 seems to become a little more interested each time.

Now how to keep him from throwing the stuff on the carpet, and running out of the room to find a hiding place for the play dough!
Love to you all!
