Play Dough...Big Whoop

I know. Homemade play dough. It's been done before.

You are not impressed.

All I'm sayin' is that we made this play dough and immediately following, the clouds parted and angels began to sing.

And they were singing about play dough.

(kidding)

My children played with play dough for hours. HOURS. UPON HOURS.

Of course Samuel pretended to make rocks....snakes....balls....even a cute little baby Larry from Veggie Tales. You know? Regular play dough creations.

The girls however, staged a fierce competition between chefs and starred in the newest Food Network program called, "You Can't Eat It But It Shore Does Look Good!"

I think they might have a shot. Have you seen some of the stuff they make on the Food Network???

Maybe you already have a play dough recipe. Maybe not. I got this one from a mother of nine and she promised it to be the best. I sort of trust her opinion.

• 2 1/2- 3 cups of flour
• 1/2 cup of salt
• 1 tablespoon of alum
• 2 cups of boiling water
• 2 tablespoons of oil
• food coloring

And this stuff? We threw it all away!
