Makin' playdough

The weather hasn't been the best for playing outside the last two days, so instead of going stir crazy here at home, or spending money out and about running somewhat useless errands, we decided to make homemade playdough today. Actually, it was cornstarch clay. So...we busted out the Redlands Playschool recipe book from 1980 (when I attended there!), got all spiffied up in our little aprons and got to work! The kids had a blast! Each took turns adding ingredients and mixing. Once our concoction was cooled, Luke chose orange and green ("like pumpkins" he said) to add to our clay. And for the next hour, while I whipped together tonight's dinner, they played happily near the kitchen. Days like this make me just love being their mommy! :)
