Crafty Tuesday - Playdough

Most of the time I am too busy running around, cooking, cleaning, coordinating schedules - to stop and have an activity for the boys.  My goal is to have one crafty activity a week.  Maybe more - if they are a hit!

Today we started simple - playdough!  Now that #3 is 18 months the likelihood of him eating the playdough has gone done, so I decided to take it out.  We had made two batches - one green and one red a while ago.  There are a ton of reasons to make your own playdough...1) fun activity for the kids; 2) cheap; 3) non-toxic; 4) you always have some...
