(You caught me! I forgot that today was a themed works for me wednesday, about our favorite online stores. Don’t worry, I made up for it…)

Some moms don’t like Playdoh. Some dread the gift of Playdoh and imagine all the carpet cleaning they’ll have to do after their toddler stomps little tiny pieces deep into the carpet fibers. Some tolerate Playdoh in a love-hate relationship. I get it. I’ve been there.

Princess had Playdoh at 3 and she did pretty good with it. But we really didn’t do Playdoh anymore when Drama Queen came along. Princess was calm. Drama Queen was a firecracker. It seemed insane to want to give such a rambunctious child who couldn’t sit still for more than a minute something so messy. But as I searched for ways to entertain and interact with Little Prince while the girls do their school work, I began to consider Playdoh once again.

Initially I intended on making my own as a school project. But while Christmas shopping I decided to just go ahead and buy a couple of 4-packs for Little Prince.

I am SO glad I did.

All of my children will pile around the dining table with the Playdoh and a big bag of shape cutters and molds and rolling pins. They will share (sharing is good!) and laugh together (as in, not fighting!) and help each other (yes, yes!) and have a great time TO-GE-THER for the longest time.

All because of Playdoh. Who knew?

Playdoh is no longer the enemy. Playdoh is a friend. I want more.

And when this Playdoh runs out (because you mysteriously lose little crumbs and pieces here and there as you play), well, THEN we’ll have a science experiment and make some more to replace it. 🙂

Oh, and since the theme of this WFMW is our favorite online stores, I guess I should mention that you can find Playdoh at my 2nd and 3rd favorite online stores, Amazon and Target.com, but you can’t however find it at my 1st favorite online store, Christianbook.com. I know those aren’t all that original.. but I don’t have any original online sources, I like to stick to the tried and true. 🙂

Hey, y’all! I’m Amber and I wear many hats. I drink a ton of coffee and I’m constantly sweeping crumbs off the floor. After 18 years of homeschooling, I’m getting close to graduating my third child and now we are starting over at preschool with our fourth, Lil Miss Mouse. She keeps us young and she’s the main reason for my excessive coffee consumption. Drink up!
