day 17 - touch it tuesday

I wanted to use tonight to make gifts for TheBoy's preschool classmates and decided play dough would be simple enough. We used this recipe (the one we use all the time, the one I remember using when I was younger). We added peppermint extract into some of it, and glitter into all of it. (My apologies to TheInLaws for all the glitter we'll be finding well into 2014.)

I looked everywhere for small plastic containers with lids, but couldn't find anything good (read: small and cheap), so I opted for snack bags and these cute take-out containers I picked up at Michael's.

The not-so-simple part was that we ended up needing three batches to have enough to go around - two batches more than I really planned on/left time for tonight. So TheBoy helped make all the batches, but only added glitter to, bag, and box one batch - leaving the rest for me to do after bedtime. Whoops.

But worth it. He's going to love handing these out tomorrow at the Holiday Extravaganza.
