Playdough Robots

 I love when we come across ideas that we get excited about!
And playdough robots was certainly one of them *smile*

When we saw these made on Playschool recently we couldn’t wait to try them out!!
{we have reached a comfortable compromise on limited tv viewing…
…which happens to include Playschool}

We had a regular batch of green playdough ready
And then we made a non-conducting batch of pink playdough using this recipe

Husband of Mine then rifled through his toys {his randomly collected electronic gadgets}
And came back with a battery pack and leads…
And the all important eyes {otherwise known as LEDs}

Then the real fun began… making circuits!
Dino Boy was excited to make the one-eyed monster light up *smile*

And Husband of Mine made a… car?
In all honesty though I think I was the most excited by this activity… 
So we will have to try it again when Dino Boy is a bit older.

Treasure dough {or super fun play dough}

It had been a while since we played with play dough…
But who could resist the wonderful invitations to play by The Imagination Tree *smile*

…and made a batch of purple, green and orange
…complete with glitter!

Using items from around the house…such as feathers, pasta and googly eyes…
…Dino Boy created and played for hours!!
{The Imagination Tree has many inspiring play dough ideas here}

When Dino Boy first saw the play dough he yelled out ‘Treasure dough!‘
I think the glitter and bits and bobs added so much fun for him!

And while Little Miss Q was a bit uncertain at first…
She ended up enjoying touching and mushing the play dough around…

And days later…. 
the play dough may have changed colour
… but what fun!

Happy crafting, Kelly
