What does the weather look like in your area? Around here it's been wet and cold. Ick. We had a bit of snow last week and then yesterday it ice-rained. Ick ick ick.
As you can probably guess, Baby Chuck and I have been staying in quite a bit. To battle the stir-craziness, I've been crafting and crapting things for him.
Feeling inspired by the snow, I made snow dough by mixing 2 C of cornstarch and 1/3 C of vegetable oil.* The resulting dough was velvety soft and crumbly. (Hubby described it as having the consistency of wet sand.... except that it's dry.)
Everyone had fun playing with it. I enjoyed making "snow balls" and Baby Chuck liked crushing them with his tiny fists.
Ooh. I see a patch of sunshine. Ok, we gotta enjoy it before it disappears. Hope the weather is nicer where you are!
(*Sorry. I had a brain fart and completely forgot where I found this recipe so I can't properly cite it. Big thanks to one nice blogger.)
