Homemade Play Dough

There was a thunderstorm watch all day today, so it was a good day to make our very first batch of play dough.

Mixing the ingredients...

Ready to cook!




Gracie said she likes homemade play dough better than store-bought because it cuts easier. It even smells good because we colored it with Kool-Aid. Orange this time, and pink next time!

Gracie decided to make Care Bears with her lump of doh...

Ella made snakes...


Gracie took the process of making Care Bears very seriously. She got out a Care Bear book and did research on the tummies of each bear...

Here are some of her finished bears. From left to right, Grumpy Bear, Funshine Bear, and Tenderheart Bear...


While her big sisters made play dough creations, Iree hung out on a blanket on the kitchen floor. When I picked her up later, she had play dough stuck in her hair. I guess she got in on the action too.
