It wasn’t good enough that the faces were on the table, we had to make these silly faces a little more personal. Who doesn’t like bugging eyes!
Cookie cutters gave us the chance to make some fun shapes too, although smashing the dough down was much more fun.
It takes concentration, deep concentration that makes your face change shape, to mold our special playdough into the intended design.
… or just smash it down again, that really is the most fun.
I like my little snowman.
Baby Blue did too, and wanted to make one herself. As she did, she ended up eating the arms before they made it to his little body.
I think the favorite part of the whole evening was destruction. Baby Blue took out all of her two year old aggression on the dough and loved crumbling it up tiny little piece by tiny little piece… every single part.
Want to try? Just mix equal parts cornstarch (or powdered milk) and creamy peanut butter, you can always add powdered sugar or coco to add more flavor (chocolate peanut butter playdough anyone??). We also used raisins, golden raisins and chocolate chips as accessories. Food + creativity = a whole night of fun!

What to do when you feel have a toddler that likes to put everything in their mouth, and you want to play with playdough… make some of the edible variety.
The evening began to unveil a very creative flair.
Making silly faces was at the top of our list.

Oh, now that IS creative! I love it. What adorable pictures and love the concentration. You must have a fantastic camera, because the pictures are so clear!
Now, though… don’t bring real playdough around her, or she’ll want to eat it! hehe
Jenny in Utah says

She’s so stinkin cute. Geez.
Love her ‘focused face’. Those cheeks!!
FRIGGA says
That looks like loads of fun, and very yummy! I’ve never heard of using peanut butter or chocolate in play dough – what an awesome idea!! Unfortunately all of my nieces and nephews have grown out of the play dough stage, oh well I’ll be sure to remember for when I have my own. 🙂

Looks like so much fun! Although I’d probably end up eating the dough before I could construct anything!
Live.Love.Eat says
That is an awesome idea. What a perfect night of quality time with your angel……
Christina Lee says
I haven’t heard that recipe before-I think we’ll have to try it b/c even my 4 year old tries to lick the playdoh all the time.
Crystal says
