Some Indoor Fun in the Summer

Here are a few more things we have been doing with all our free time this summer. The boys had been asking about making edible play-doh, so we tried it out. We did the recipe with powdered sugar and corn syrup. I think there is also one with peanut butter. The play-doh tasted pretty good, like icing.



Even Will and our neighbor had fun making snails and walls.



Megan enjoyed poking the play-doh. She was not brave enough to eat this green stuff.



Will and Ben decided to have fun with my glue gun. They took some of the school supplies from the end of the year and made many creations.



Ben made some type of ship here.



This is Will's "Cowboy Joe." I think he is very cute. He even has a snicker's wrapper for his cowboy hat.

  1. What a great creative idea. Fun can really be inexpensive when kids are turned loose to make their own things. Megan just smiles at everything that goes on. This was a great entry.

  2. Edible play doh with powdered sugar? I would love that recipe. I've seen the ones with peanut butter but we can't make that one because of Peter's allergy.

  3. The recipe is from page 242 of the "Not Just Beans" cook book. I am pretty sure you have the book, but if not I can post the recipe.
