The Wonders of Play Doh

We recently discovered play-doh. I was going to be one of those moms, and still probably will be, who makes the home made stuff, but I was wondering through the dollar store and saw "authentic" play-doh for $1.00 a can. I couldn't resist bringing home a few for Matthew to explore.

Play-doh has become a life saver! It is now much easier to clean up breakfast dishes or cook supper, as he asks to play with the play-doh and is content sitting at the table, playing and watching cartoons for about a half an hour. A HALF AN HOUR!!! YIPEE!!!

We also recently set up a craft corner in the kitchen, with the goal being all sorts of fun things we can do AT THE TABLE!!! Of course, these times are limited to those when Mommy needs to be in the kitchen, preferrably un-interrupted, as we don't want them to get over-used :O)
