Play Dough Tool Kit – Everything You Need For Play Dough Fun!
Doodles (4y.o.) and Oodles(2y.o.) had the play dough out again this afternoon. While they were creating aliens and monsters with lots of bits and pieces, I decided to clean out the crate that we keep all of our play dough tools and toys in. I actually surprised myself with the amount of things we have collected to use with play dough over the last while. We play with play dough a lot and love to try out different recipes such as our recent experiment with super soft colour surprise play dough and our old reliable basic play dough.

While it was a gorgeous, large, light and airy space with the…

Our Big Blue Activity Box, aka “The What To Do When I’m Bored Box” – 15 activity ideas
Today, I have decided to share the contents of our “Big Blue Activity Box”. Back in early January I found that both of my children were grouchy and irritable and weren’t playing with toys or anything for that matter. They would not play independently and I was completely worn out plus we were battling colds and sore throats etc. I think they were “hung-over” after the festivities of the Christmas season – toys, gifts, sweets, lots of time with both Mr G and I.
