So what to do with an almost 4-year-old who only wants to watch Spongebob and tell made up stories called "Our family, the Addams Family, the Star Wars Family, and KISS all go to Las Vegas" (you think I'm exaggerating, don't you?)
When I couldn't take either of those things anymore, I broke out this set of Melissa and Doug Dough Play toys we got at Saver's a few weeks ago for $2.99, still in the box. 
(I know the photos leave a lot to be desired. It's a rainy day, people. What did you expect?)
(I know the photos leave a lot to be desired. It's a rainy day, people. What did you expect?) Then, because I solicited information from you guys a few posts ago and got suggestions and even a bona-fide recipe via e-mail (thanks, Donna!), I decided to make our own dough. I had to empty salt shakers I'd forgotten we had, and didn't think to take pictures during the cooking phase, but here's our finished project. It's from a recipe pretty similar to the first one here. 
It's really smooth and kind of sproingy, and especially fun when it's still warm. Look at the anticipation in her face:
And there's not a talking sponge or Millenium Falcon in sight.
We rolled, and pulled, and squished, and laughed. It made the whole day so much brighter.

C'mon over on your next rainy day, and we can all play together.
