Dough heads



We had a great time cooking the dough then smashing and mixing the color in. Annie loved tearing it into tiny pieces that were super fun to clean up. She made a snake, and when I asked her what his name was she said, "Thomas Kaye Mounts." The recipe is pretty simple and makes a nice textured dough (not too grainy like salt dough). It does leave a film on your hands, but washes off easily.

Playdough Recipe

2 cups baking soda
1 1/2 cups water
1 cup cornstarch

Mix with a fork until smooth. Boil over medium heat until thick. Spoon onto plate or wax paper and mix in color (if desired).

Such a cute face! Thanks for the play dough recipe- I'll have to try it out for sure (as soon as Kempton stops putting anything that touches his hands straight into his mouth!)

I've always thought of Thomas Kaye as a little snake.

Looks like fun. I'll have to try the whole play dough thing with Tyler. Annie is super cute. You always get the best pictures of her. We're excited to see you guys in a couple of weeks.
