I spent this morning in a turtleneck and jeans but I took the opportunity to wear something girly for a short trip out of the house this afternoon. This is definitely not a "Let's go outside and do some finger painting" outfit. It is more of a "Can I wipe your sticky hands before I pick you up?" outfit. I wore the dress with flats today but I like the way it looks with these heels too.
And it's back to jeans for me. I'm thinking of making my own playdough... for Robert of course. Has anyone got a good recipe?

Of course! I remember seeing Chantelle's post. That's probably how I got the idea of playdough in my head. I'm going to give it a try.
ReplyDeleteYou always have a way with things. Kudos on this!
ReplyDeleteAwww. I love this dress! Love it.
ReplyDeleteWas about to link to my recipe... Thanks for doing that already Son. xx
Oh so super cute!
ReplyDeletethe first photo is so cute. a happy jump with a lovely dress. total cuteness.
ReplyDeleteThe cooked play dough recipe off the cream of tartare canister always works a treat for us.
ReplyDeleteHi Viv, love your blog! As far as playdough goes, just follow the recipe on the tin of Mackenzies cream of tartare but instead of cooking it just add boiling water not cold. I've made it twice for my little one. It's super quick and easy and lasts for ages in a ziplock bag in the cupboard. (and no, I don't work for Mackenzies!)
ReplyDeleteKeep up your lovely blog and good luck with your course!
Gorgeous, but sorry can't help with the play dough :)
ReplyDeletePERFECTION!
ReplyDeletewith playdough always have extra flour handy in case it's sticky. i've never used exact quantities in a recipe - for some reason it never works out exact and a bit of trial and error is required (in my experience!) have fun! xx
love that outfit - heaps!!

Uncooked Play Dough

*Just pop it all in a mixing bowl and mix!
*It looks as though it is not going to mix well at first but hang in there and throw it onto the bench to knead, and it will come together really nicely.
*We put different things in ours also such as glitter and sand. Just be careful you don't put things in like rice as they tend to go mouldy - we find glitter is really good.
*Add peppermint oil for a great smell and even longer lasting playdough...
*Hope this helps everyone.
*Cheers and Happy Play Doughing! (get into it, it is really relaxing to knead)
Best Play Dough Activities....
Make playdough alphabet letters or numbers - children fill the alphabet stencils / number stencils with playdough...
Use the playdough to make 2d and 3d shapes...
Make up lots of small playdough balls - how many playdough balls fill up different small containers...(eg..cups, bowls etc)
Make lots of playdough sausages - braid 2 or 3 sausages together.
Provide lots of different textured materials for children to press into the playdough and uncover the patterns (eg. sandpaper, corderouy, rope, lace,
Find different shaped lids and 'around the house' objects for children to press into the playdough and uncover different shapes..
Make faces from playdough and make them express different feelings..
Different playdough colour each week - gather playdough utensils in that colour also.
Children stand coloured popsticks into the playdough to form patterning by colour - also great for early addition games and activities - stand 5 red popsticks together - stand 3 yellow popsticks together - how many altogether...
This is great - keeps for ages Paula
Thanks so much for the recipes and for the great tips and activities. Very helpful!
