Snow Play Dough

I think pretty much everyone has had a little snow this winter!  One of our snowy days, we made some snow play dough.  I found a great play dough recipe on Pinterest to make play dough with a stand mixer!  It is SO much easier for me than cooking it over the stove.  As inspired by a different play dough recipe, I just omitted the food coloring and added white and silver glitter!  I even added a teeny bit of vanilla flavoring to make it smell good...

Homemade Playdough

I have been a little neglectful toward my blog this month.  It has been a crazy busy month!  I will try to catch up and still make my goal of six posts this month.

Earlier this month, I made some homemade playdough.  I haven't ever had any desire to make my own playdough.  With it being so inexpensive at the store and coming in all kinds of cool colors with all sorts of fun gadgets, why bother making it from scratch?

Interject the school years and alas we do all sorts of things we don't think we would ever do.  Haha. 
Anyway, I made this with my oldest child and it turned out better than I expected.  The recipe is even egg-free, but I wouldn't recommend eating it.  I think it would make you sick!

Update (01/31/15):  Although this recipe works, I have found one I like better.  Check out today's post here.
