Thanks so much for these ideas!!! This week I made some playdough and put allspice in it...it smelled great and then I gave the kids muffin tins, regular playdough tools, spoons, little pots from the play kitchen and the new spaghtetti making playdough pushers I bought. The kids played for hours on end and didn't want to do anything else! I will try to red and green with peppermint and cinnamon next So many ideas now...you've go tme really thinking. Thanks ladies! By the way, my homemade playdough is always so messy...it sticks to clothing etc. Does anyone have a great recipe that is not so sticky and messy?
