Our kids play with Playdoh almost every day, it is one of their favorite times of the day. I used to dread Playdoh time and would actually hide it from them because I didn’t want to clean up the mess and I got really frustrated when they mixed the colors.
I am not sure what happened, but one day it just kinda clicked for me and I realized what a moron I was being. It literally takes 5 minutes to put away 10 cans of Play-doh, I bought to myself “Really Paul, you don’t waste 5 minutes on something stupid that you could put aside to clean up some playdoh.” How many times a day do we do something like that, I know for me it is too often.
As for mixing the colors, WHO FREAKING CARES!! They don’t. Why should I? It can be a little frustrating when I want to make a green dinosaur and he is now a rainbow and not ferocious at all, but I just have to deal with it!
I guess the bottom line is that I need to re-prioritize my time a little bit, ever happen to you?

I am buying some Play-Doh, are you?
LOVE this!!! I think I will be buying lots of playdoh soon!! Do you have a designated playdoh area? Our 5 year old loves to drag it around the house and gets it in the carpet. I am thinking the kitchen table may be the place to be!
I bought a pack yesterday with the coupon and the coupon beeped and said unmatched item. Luckily I had a good cashier to take care of it. But not all will push that through. Just so you know. I hate when coupons do that.
I felt the same way. I too had to “let things go”. What is the big deal I had to let my kid be a kid. LOL
To help with the mess, I bought an inexpensive vinyl tablecloth at the dollar store. Use over a coffee or kitchen table and best part it’s so easy to wipe clean. Hth : )
lol, love this article. we have a designated tv tray my daughter uses for crafts, works out very well. and as the color mixing, we live in texas and made the mistake of leaving a 64 pack of crayons in the car , thank goodness we had them in a large ziplock bag, (ever done that paul?) i took the bag and left it in the fridge for awhile. then i broke chunks off and let my daughter use them, made some very interesting pictures. lol.
of course we have! we weren’t as lucky though with the bag. We did have leather so it did come off, whew!
