It's 1 cup of salt, 1 cup of water, 2 cups of flour, 1 tbsp of cooking oil and a few drops of food coloring mixed together. Super easy but let me warn you that it it can be messy. I ended up telling them it was outside playdough and made them take it outside because of the mess! Our favorite playdough to make is pumpkin pie playdough but it was too hot to turn on the stove for that one. There are a ton of play dough recipes online! Check them out for a great afternoon craft that will keep them busy for hours!
While we were working on playdough, the Baby Monster attacked my craft space. She found the girls bag of scraps and dumped them on the hallway floor. Isn't it a beautiful mess! The girls took this as an invitation to make a few quick cards!
Here are a few cards they came up with! Don't you love the bunnies?
Thanks for stopping by today and have fun crafting with your kids!!

It all looks like so much fun! Didn't they do an amazing job with their cards.TFS
My preschool class would always love making their own playdough and picking the colors they wanted it to be. Looks like your girls loved it! And yes, that is the prettiest mess I certainly have ever seen

How fun is this! Your little girls look like they are having the best time- little crafters in the making! :)Amy
Amber good you asked them to play outside. Mine used to stuff the homemade playdough into all sorts of places and after days only the stink would alert me!!!
Awesome! It's so great to see that you and your kids have so much fun being creative together :)
Very cute creations they came up with! The playdough looks like a lot of fun! :)

It looks as though you and the girls had F-U-N!! What a great lot of cards, too! I especially like the hand drawn sun card.
Thanks for your comment on my blog. I am exhausted with my studies but today marks the halfway point!!
Love the look you're getting from Eva Sophia!!! It says, "I did it, but I'm not gonna tell."
LOL! This is sooo super cute! Wish I had little girlies running around to make some cards with me!
