When all else fails, go back to the basics.



And is there anything more basic than
PLAY-DOH
?

Sophie is always experimenting with this stuff. What better way to experience your world than to take a glob of hot pink mush and smash it into the wall? Or the telephone? Or any of the hundreds of kitchen and bathroom appliances that you have at your very fingertips?



I think we found a new hobby: pattern collecting! We went around the whole house and found shoes, macrame bags, hairbrushes, and door knobs with really neat designs and shapes, and isn't this just really fun and colorful to look at?



You gotta' try this. It's really therapeutic, I swear! Every red-blooded American household should have Play-doh in their cupboard, so go grab some and do some serious smooshing! It's fun! It's easy! And it makes you feel like you're four years old again!

And..... for about fifteen minutes, it helps you forget all the stress in your life. Okay. I'm good. Back to the grindstone.

We love playdough too...but please share...how do you keep those colors separate??? That is the first thing my girls do...mix them up!

That looks to me like a cool way to make colorful Christmas ornaments. Make a blob the right size for an ornament, poke a hole in the top, and smush away. When the doh is new and not mixed up, it would harden very bright and make for a colorful tree. Or, you could use the mixed variety for an, ummm, different kind of color. God for Sophie and for you for taking time out to smush.

What a fun project, and it does look awesome! Thanks for the fun idea. Maybe this summer I'll get around to making some play dough and we can do this.

Thanks for the play-doh idea. I dug mine out, and the boys are having a great time! We live about 1-2 hours from Chicago--so we decided to take a vacation. Why not vacation to Chicago--it's a great city and cuts down on travel time and travel money. I hope to make it west this summer (Utah), but plan to fly stand by--not the most fun with three kids, but hey it is free!
