My monster
I gave myself the “awesome mom award” yesterday.
Since Sunday I have been itching to make playdough, since I saw it on this weeks edition of Kids Craft Weekly. Add to that a primal need to use my new kitchenaid mixer and I was off and running.
The playdough is this blah color because we didn’t have any food coloring. I did add it to our pantry today, so this evening I made some light blue playdough.
Fuller loves playing with the dough. He squishes it, cuts it up with cookie cutters, and makes balls to stack and smash. Fuller played with it for about three hours yesterday and the first thing he did this morning was play with it some more. He even postponed breakfast for an hour to play with the dough.
I hope the enthusiasm sticks and he gets into playing with it while I make dinner in the evenings. And maybe we can get some ornaments out of it for Christmas gifts.

Oh you have a kitchen-aid mixer! What color is it? Mine’s red and I looooove it!
What’d you do with the play dough after? and did he try to eat it?
Yeah, he did try to eat it, but didn’t eat much. It is just flour, salt, and water. We store it in ziploc bags and put it in the fridge.
