The girls and I had lots of fun making dough from toilet paper and water a couple of weeks ago. We unrolled a roll of toilet paper into a container (this felt very wasteful to me, so we probably won't do this again very soon), and added in the water... a little bit at at time.
Then we just played...I made a cave for our Ice Age people, and O made a bowl. E helped me with the cave and then she started knocking it down...I think she was pretending to be a wooly mammoth.
We had a lot of fun, but we'll probably never get all of the dried bits of toilet paper off of our deck...luckily, I'm ok with that :)

Wrapping each other with long streamers of toilet paper is great fun and makes for ... for making homemade paper, or for papier-mâché projects, or paper dough.
ReplyDeleteThat's the plan for when we are studying mummies...if I can bring myself to waste more toilet paper :)
ReplyDeleteYou're NOT wasting. You might pay a buck or two for play dough, modeling clay or potters clay, this is only different because it shows your kids that they can make something out of something and teaches out of the box thinking, and hey, it's squishy too! :)
