playdoh!!!

[kindredspirits]

my mindees love playdoh - which i am fine with.......... but i am finding it really hard to relax and just let them play--------- they keep mixing the colours!! :panic: i know i should relax and think *** it they're already mixed it all up so it can;t get any worse, i hate being this anally rentive! lol

Glad I am not the only one :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Have to stop myself from saying anything, but it's hard !

I just do one colour at a time - otherwise you end up with poo coloured playdough:laughing:

[louised]

I agree, I only let the younger ones have one colour at a time, when they are older and realise that it's not a good idea to mix them up then they can have all the colours

I'm the same with paint!!!!!!!!!!! drives me mad when they use a brush in a different colour without washing it first!!!!!!:panic:

[Mollymop]

I am exactly the same too!!!!

Playdoh goes a horrid grey colour when it's all mixed up!

[Trouble]

do you think we all need to get out more:laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Make a batch of homemade dough then it's all one colour to start with;)
Have to be honest I've only bought the commercially available playdoh once and thought it was far too expensive for what you get (compared to the pennies it costs to make a huge batch of homemade)

i am going to make it next time... when i used to play with them when i only had 1 after schooler it stayed all neat - now its like i've got 10 tubs of multicoloured!!! :blush:
ah well, they enjoy themselves... if i repeat it enough i might feel it! lol

I know just what you mean. I'm such a virgo :blush: I hate things not being neat ( you wouldn't think it to look at my house :D ) But I try really hard not to intervene after all it's their play not mine.
If I've hown them a craft activity and they do it 'wrong' it takes all my willpower not to say something or put it 'right'.

I now make my own but bfore I would only give them 2 or 3 colours that would blen nicely - blue/yellow/green Red/yellow/orange etc. Home made dough is so much nicer and you can make it smell nice with lemon oil etc:)
