Moon Dough Explosion!

A few weeks back, I was looking for something to occupy the kiddos for that gap between dinner time being finished and bath time to begin.  In the past I had made moon dough, but the boys were MUCH younger, and I don't recall them playing with it for that long of a time.  Actually, I don't think Carter was old enough to play with it at all.  So, here was my latest moon dough creation;  Lavender Moon Dough

I made the "dough" the same way you normally would; 8 cups of flour to 1 cup of baby oil.  I used the cheap stuff from Dollar Tree, but I am sure that any type of baby oil would work.  Then I added 3 drops of lavender essence.  It smelled awesome!  And the boys loved the aroma as well.  We had so much fun scooping, dumping, making dough castles, and the best part was that it lasted a few days!  That was before we forgot it outside and it was rained on.  Oops!

We were having so much fun downstairs, even Daddy had to come down and see what we were doing (hence the pictures.  Thanks Dan!).  Super easy to make and tons of fun.  Hope you all enjoy it as well!

P.S.  It is not the easiest to clean up and will make the floor slippery.  However, as I am sure you know by now, I am not a mom who worries about a mess.  Mess = play.  Play = learning.  The End.  :)
