We have had a lot (and I mean a lot!) of rainy, chilly days lately. I'm not complaining about the rain because after the drought we had last year, I will never complain about rain! However, it does present some issues when one is at home all day with a 2.5 year old. One day last week Riley asked to play with his play dough. I pulled it out and it was very dry and impossible to form into anything. So, I turned on the computer and pulled up the trusty
Pinterest site. I typed in "homemade playdough," and found
this recipe. It was so easy to make and Riley loves playing with it!

| I made him a car (as best as my minimal artistic ability would allow) and he was so excited about it! Now every time I pull out the play dough he says, "Make me a car, Mama!" Such a sweet boy! |

| Yes, he's a boy...he did this one all on his own |
I'm definitely looking forward to the day when the sun decides to shine again, but I'm thankful for times like this when I can have indoor fun with my special little man.
Hey Laura, we made the same playdough this week! I read somewhere that you could use a packet of Koolaid powder for color and a fun smell, so we did and it turned out great! I actually just wrote Jason's mom and asked her to send more Koolaid in her next package, so we can make more colors/flavors. I love keeping up with your sweet family on here! :)
