Mystery play dough creations

Combining a few blog posts I found recently we went to work this morning on some fun play dough adventures. 

First Lucy and I mixed up some homemade play dough from a recipe we used this winter for peppermint play dough, minus the peppermint! 

Then I added a mystery color with food coloring to the middle of each ball of play dough and put them in ziplock baggies for the kids to knead IN the bag to discover the color they had.

Then they started creating. We had small craft sticks, golf tees and pipe cleaners. 

I haven't been feeling well this week and this has been a great activity involving minimal mommy energy! And lots of kiddo creativity and fun.
