Today is a BUNCO night for me & I cannot wait! With soldier man away though, it means a no-nap day for the kids so the sitter has the easiest job of putting the kiddos to bed at 7:00 (& getting paid $30 just to sit on my couch for 3 hours, not chasing kids... lucky, lucky girl). So, I had to get creative with something to do during with what would usually be their nap time to avoid meltdowns & whining in the darkest hour. And Moondough it was -- who knew flour, baby oil, a container, & some cups & trucks could provide so much fun! And it smelled AMAZING! Even I couldn't keep my hands out. Unlike regular sand, it does not stick to your hands in a grindy way & like play dough, it is moldable so you can create things. Our no-naptime went great & the sweet tween can sit comfortably on my couch tonight thanks to the Moondough & a fun couple of hours outdoors!
To create, 8 cups of flour & 1 cup of baby oil -- just mix together!
D pouring the flour, times 8.
Next comes the oil.
The fun part... very texture friendly for kids!
Playing dunptrucks in the new sand.
More outdoor fun!
My Deacon... flour & all!
Can't be in the desert without a little water going!
Sweet K loves the outdoors!
