I was thinking about what I could blog about that related to the number 100 - and I drew a blank! So instead, I'll show you the Playdoh idea I got from Parents magazine. I let them use Playdoh outside this summer and was not happy about letting them use it indoors over the winter. My cousins with kids told me the horror stories about picking it out of the rug, off the furniture, "let it all harden and then sweep it all up!" Ugh. Well ...
All I do now is have Andy save the small boxes that the bottled water comes in! The boxes were a slippery on the table, so I used a little tape to hold them down. Definitely helped! (Flipped the tape into a loop.) The playdoh stays in the box, and whatever little pieces don't make it back into the round container are easily dumped into the garbage can. I am going to try finger painting with them using these next week. The possibilities are endless!
See those nice colors? Bright blue and sparkling red? Now they have congealed to a dull mottled purple. Playdoh memories ....
Thanks for being here for my first 100 - hope you'll still be here at 200!
PS - My wallpaper is yuck. I am thinking of stripping it all down and painting the walls a nice light pink. Andy'll flip.
