I swore I'd NEVER buy it again, but I did.....

Pin It Now! PLAY-DOH. I guess I am going to have to recant part of what I said about it here.




You see, we now have a table in our backyard that is far away from our house, so I thought just maybe I could bring this stuff back!

I was trying to think of new ways my daughter could entertain herself while I am busy home schooling the boys, and I saw some play-doh at Fry's while grocery shopping. I just couldn't resist. What kid doesn't like to play with it?



I am happy to report that the current arrangements seem to be working out just fine. I keep the play-doh in a basket on a very high shelf, and when the kids want to play they take it OUTSIDE!! When they are done they put it all away and bring the basket back inside to me, and it goes right back on the high shelf.


My only OCD complaint is..... Why, why does Shiloh insist on mixing the colors?!!!!! But, just so you know, I let her. It's hers. I don't like it, but it's hers. She is having fun and that is what matters.

I love letting my kids play with play dough! And, it entertains me to watch. It is really important to my 5 year old to keep his colors separate. My 4 year old takes his and mixes them until they end up an ugly grey or brown. It really shows me something about their personality- I am just not sure what!
