So we had a bunch of rainy days a couple of weeks ago, and the girls and I were going crazy staying inside and just playing. Enter pinterest ideas, something messy that we could enjoy for more than about 5 minutes.
Moon Dough to the rescue. It was a hit! We have pulled it out several times since and every time the girls will play with it for over an hour with no encouragement required.
I was surprised about how easy it was and how the Munchkins could participate in the making process.
Ingredients (We doubled the recipe)
8 cups flour (white would work best)
1 cup baby oil
We put all the ingredients into a big Ziploc and then I let the girls pound on it to mix it all.
I think they loved that part just as much as playing with it.
Then we dumped it all out into their water table (after we rinsed it out from being outside and dried it off). I placed it on a huge beach towel on top of the hardwood floor in the corner of the kitchen. The girls LOVED it! Plus also meant cleanup was easy.
We threw a bunch of bowls and spoons with some sandbox toys (I rinsed them out first) into the table and they went at it. Making pretend cakes, ice cream flavors and all kinds of things. I might try helping them make a castle next time.
Plus the best part: This stuff smells SO good and makes your hands really soft from the baby oil.
