{Pinterest} Cloud Dough

We made this last holidays and I'm only just getting around to blogging it! 



I followed a pin to this link and bought some cheap hair conditioner while at the shops. 


2 ingredients......yes.......but technically there is 3 with the colouring.
 Easy to make.......yes.
 Soft......yes


Best playdough ever......no.
It was lovely to play with for a while and it is soft and smells nice (apple scented conditioner) but is dried out quickly and it didn't store well in a sealed container in the cupboard. It also wasn't the easiest clean up, but that might have something to do with someone getting it all over the floor! 


The corn flour gave it the slight texture of 'slime' and it started to stretch the way the slime does when you hold it up. It wasn't much good for making things out of it, just nice to roll and pat and squish. 


It was Ok as something fun to do but a traditional playdough recipe, although more involved to make, will last a few weeks in the fridge and is better for making pizza and animals. 



This is project number 9 in my totally pinspired challenge. I'm a few (like lots!) behind.

{3rd Birthday} Octonauts party

Image
It has been a week two weeks since Aden's Octonauts party and I think I have recovered enough to post about it. Special thanks to my sister for gabbing my camera and my MIL and SIL for their cameras, as I didn't take any all day! Aden is a massive Octonauts fan! So when he didn't go for my initial plan of a 'Monsters' Party ( too scary Mummy!) we decided on Octonauts. I did a lot of Internet searching and looking at a lot of Pintrest posts to gather all my ideas together.  There was lots of party food including Octonaut Cupcakes. Cake toppers from Ebay  And a Kwazii cake as requested by the birthday boy! I totally forgot to put on the Octopus I had for his hat!! We also had yellow/green/blue jelly cups with turtles in them and smarties cookies. As well as regular party food and hot finger food for the adults. Mummy wiping Aden's face before having cake photos! We had balloons, a birthday banner and streamers. ...
