Today we made PLAYDOUGH from scratch

for a fun stuck-inside-too-cold-to-play-outside kind of activity...

Both girls had a blast adding and mixing ingredients... then we split the dough in half, put it in baggies and mashed/mixed the food coloring into the dough (*without staining our pretty little hands) ...

Linnea chose BLUE food dye...

By the way have you ever thought about trying to explain things like 'dye' or 'consistency' to a 3.5 yr old? Not so easy.

Signe chose GREEN food dye...

And then it was off to the races to roll and smush(sp?) the dough... create, cut, shape, and cut out animals. It was glorious 30min activity. Rinse and repeat twice throughout the day.

It is fun creating with these two!
