Yesterday afternoon, the children and I
decided to make some play dough.
They were very excited about helping to make it.
We gathered in the corner of the kitchen
and each added a specific ingredient...
Will had the job of adding the flour...

He took it upon himself to level it off, too...

Carolynne had the job of pouring in the coloring...

And Beth had the job of pouring in the salt...

The girls took turns stirring it before I added the liquid ingredients...


And Will and Ally helped stir after we added the liquids...


And viola! We had dough...

(Delightful Dough Recipe here)
We put a tablecloth on the dining room table
and the children eagerly sat down to play...
I gave them some of our cookie cutters to make various shapes...
I helped Carolynne with her ducky and then she was ready to try...

Here she is trying to make one herself
by stuffing the cookie cutter with dough...

Here I helped Beth make a heart...

She quickly caught on and started making her own.
Here she is with a foot...

Will had no problems getting started...

Here he is with his foot...

They had lots of fun and spent quite some time
sitting at the table making more shapes.
It made me wonder... Why hadn't I done this before?
