Play Dough!




Homemade, natural, easy (although slightly messy), kid friendly (thus the mess), allergy free and just plain fun. 
I googled a basic recipe (http://www.bestrecipes.com.) and substituted the flour for some old gluten free Namaste flour I recently found but didn't want to waste. If I did this again I would probability use plain wheat flour. For cost reasons and gluten free flour is just plain sticky. Not unmanageable sticky but slightly annoyingly so.






I divided the batch into four pieces. We had some fun playing with colors

Cinnamon

I started with cinnamon. Smell really good I even added a drop of cinnamon oil for extra yum fun. PS: don't you love my cheap bulk container.

Blue Green Algae


This was an experiment, meh not as well as I hoped although if I added more maybe. Still happy kid. And since I was enjoying my scents I added a drop of cedar to this one. 


Pink!

I used my blush powder for pink. I have a lot left and I know it's time to buy a new one so why not? This stuff is pretty fierce on my cheeks so only a bit is ever needed. All natural and non-toxic I love Ava Anderson products and I think it did pretty well. 
Oh and a drop of rose water for this one. I could help myself!

Charoal


I adore my activated charcoal and when we use it gets on things sometimes and it's so very black. I broke a little capsule open for this. I really love the way it looks. I think this was be stellar for party favors that have a rock theme to go with it. Dinosaurs, dump trucks...most anything with boys....


Fun Completed  

Dart was so happy he even kept saying that he was. Good little project as he's been feeling a bit left out lately. Middle child syndrome is setting in I'm afraid. He happy sang and played with the stuff all morning. This was particularly perfect since we've all been sick and TV time has been way too much lately.
