The Chronology of a New Family Staple

On Wednesday afternoon, a friend told me about the velvety texture of homemade moon dough.  On Wednesday evening, I scoured Pinterest for recipes.  On Thursday morning, Beth and I walked four and a half kilometers to buy two enormous bags of corn starch and two enormous bottles of hair conditioner.  On Thursday afternoon, we were 'ret to go'.  Then we played.

 

Pros which made more than enough for six children it feels peculiar  so soft and dry and smooth and smells like conditioner adding food colour makes sweet pastels it's easy to make there's no cooking and only two ingredients

Not Pros I spent about $11 it smells like conditioner but not vivid brights as it dries, it gets a little crumbly one of which is corn starch I have corn starch in crannies all over my kitchen

we made a lot of moon dough...seven times this...and we'll definitely do it again

*This post is part of a series.  I've set aside Thursday afternoons to do fun activities with my children.  In an effort to work out why it both draws and repels me, I choose these activities from Pinterest.*
