It's Playtime


Recipes for play!
Making your own recipes is not only cheaper, but usually its better than the store-bought kind.
Plus, making the goodies with your preschooler is an activity itself!

We may have our tried and trued recipes that we use over and over.
[Henry and I have only attempted one playdough recipe so far! Eeek!]

But there are many versions of every recipe!
[The Imagination Tree is loaded with lots of playdough recipes to try out.]

Cathy from the NurtureStore just released an eBook of playdough recipes.
[Which includes ideas for materials to combine with the playdough for extra fun!]

Playdough is a pretty easy and common recipe to start with.
But, have you stretched beyond your comfort zone?

Have you made your own paint? perfume? Gak?

How about letting the kids have a try at making their own cookies?

And these are just recipes for play that were linked up from last week’s It’s Playtime!
There are so many more out there! Go explore and make it yourself!

[By the way, last week we had a record 116 play ideas! Keep those playful posts coming!]

    Our go-to recipe is either cake mix cookie or lowfat cake with cake mix and canned pumpkin. Both have very few ingredients… that seems to be the key for getting my kids involved and interested! I love cooking with my kids so I'm happy you featured that this week!
