Since I've started looking at Pinterest I've been kind of intrigued by these homemade playdough recipes. The very first one I saw on the internet was a couple years ago and it was about making playdough with all natural ingredients. The colors were made with berries and other things found in nature. I thought it was pretty cool until I read the end that the playdough would stain your clothes and hands. Then I thought it was dumb. Who wants to go through all of that work to have it mess up your clothes.
We've come a long way in the last couple of years. A couple weeks ago I made jello playdough. It was pretty cool. I would recommend it.
Today we made the PERFECT playdough for FALL! I'm a little obsessed with fall right now. This is my new favorite playdough. The texture was smooth and easy to manipulate and it smelled AWESOME. You use cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. After playing with the kids for a while I washed my hands for dinner and they still smelled like cinnamon. Yum. I didn't color it and I thought the natural color really matched the smell.
This is Emily's version of The Chicka Chicka Boom Boom tree. Can you see the coconuts?
Usually I make this kind of stuff and then hand it over to the kids to play with while I do something else. Today; however, I sat down and played with them for a while. It was pretty fun, I recommend that too.
happy pinning!
Please move here! Lets do fun things like this together!
