Play-Doh suncatchers

Posted in Kid crafts, Molly, Playdates on November 5th, 2009 by jen – 2 Comments

What do you do for fun on a wintry day? Make Play-Doh suncatchers to bring in a little sunshine, of course! So, today I hosted a playdate to do just that. All the kids enjoyed squishing small balls of Play-doh and creating a rainbow of colors on the Contact Paper.

When put together and hung up, it turned out really nice. Though, it didn't last in the window very long. Molly insisted on wearing it like a bracelet, and then it eventually wound up crumpled in a ball. But, she had fun playing with it all day!

Sponge painting playdate

Molly had some friends over today for a sponge painting playdate. I originally found the idea online to put the paper and sponge inside a Ziplok bag to avoid a mess, but it was decided that it would be easier just to sponge paint normally. The girls had a great time and ended up with several pictures each. We made sure to get in a lot of playtime too.



Bubble burst painting

This morning I hosted a bubble burst painting playdate. After being rescheduled twice, it was finally a nice day to be outside! Molly did a great job. It was a good thing the bubble soap was only colored with food coloring since she liked to put the wand right up to her lips.

There was a lot of mommy help needed with painting.



There was even time for sliding and car rides.

Everyone had a great time and went home with some beautiful paintings!

If you are interested in trying bubble painting, mix 15 drops of food coloring with 4 oz. of bubble soap and you're set!
