Play-dough Fun!

I decided to make play-dough for my little girl, just like my mom used to. It was easy except for the stirring part, that was a lot harder than I thought it would be!! I used some gel food coloring that I use for cake making and the colors turned out really good, they were so vibrant. I did use some "old fashioned" McCormick food coloring I had and, as I remember from childhood, they turned out to be more pastel colors. I tried making purple and that just turned out sick. It looked more like the color of my injured toe.

The orange, green and black are all from my gel food coloring. The yellow and blue are McCormick.

I love this shot. It definitely speaks the truth about my little girl. She never stops moving!! She is almost always blurry in any picture! (Action shots aren't my forté)

Her face is priceless as she dreams up what shape she should
contort these unsuspecting lumps into next.

Here you see her modeling a face of complete and utter concentration
as she rolls this ball into submission.

"Look mom! I made a lot of burritos!!"
She tried to feed one of her "burritos" to her brother, but I quickly intervened!
