Play dough; play YUCK

I'll just start by saying: I HATE play dough! I don't like the smell and I definately don't like the clean up. There are always little pieces everywhere! Therefore, my kids don't play with it much. (I couldn't be a preschool teacher: I hate play dough, bubbles or sidewalk chalk).

So anyway. While I was working on the fence on Wednesday, I got out all the play dough and let the kids play with it outside under the gazebo. That way they could make a mess and who cares? We were outside. They had a blast! They played so good together, made a mess, made animals, and stayed out of my way. They were occupied for a few hours! Clean up was so easy too. For one thing, alot of the play dough had dried out so we were just able to pitch it. I'll never do play dough inside again.



By the way: is it play dough or play doh?
