I was tired of our house looking like this after the boys played with our old, dried-up playdough (can you see the scattered little bits everywhere?)…
…So I decided to try a homemade playdough recipe (using flour, water, oil, cream of tartar, and salt) I had seen on Pinterest. It turned out great! The boys loved playing with the new, squishy dough.
I was so emboldened by the success that I tried my hand at a second recipe, this one calling for a mixture of corn starch and hair conditioner. Well. It was a mess. And I couldn’t even blame this mess on the boys! I ended up salvaging it, and the boys really liked playing with this stickier, gooey-er creation (and it didn’t hurt that I ended up stripping them down so I could avoid grinding wet corn starch into their clothes, and the boys like to do anything shirtless!).
Then, after the fun was done, I put the boys to work cleaning it all up!
