Very creative! Glad to find an easy recipe!
I’ll let Sophie know her recipe is a hit! Thanks x
Hey Sarah, we were inspired by your blog today, and with Maddie in the front pack (unbelievable that she is still so tiny, that at 11 months she still fits in it), the boys and I made some blue & green playdough. So much more fun for them to be involved in the whole process, rather than just buy the dough from the supermarket. They are now busy sitting at the table with their playdough, and Maddie is sitting under the table hoping for them to drop some, probably so she can attempt to eat it!
Ha, ha, love this Julie! I can just picture Maddie under the table… I have all that to come again next year. Best wishes to you and your family x
How clever to make your own playdough….it looks just right to make things with.We used to make our own when I was teaching and the hardest part was getting the consistency just right ….you seem to have made it just right!! Love your little blue heart we spied against your lovely dress with pink hearts and dots on Sophie and also loved your circles balancing on your arm Charli.
Good grief, I didn’t know you could make playdough. I thought it was only mass produced gloop. What a fantastic way for Sophie to be cook, chemist and artist all in one.
Way to go Sophie!
