Apple Scented Playdough

I love to make homemade playdough for the littles and have my go-to recipe which is the cooked one with flour, salt, water, oil, and cream of tartar (plus add-ins like glitter, scents, food coloring).  I came across a "tweak" to this recipe on Pinterest that I knew would be perfect for us this week since we are learning about what kinds of food comes from trees.  The genius ingredient for making amazing apple-scented playdough is......... apple shampoo.  Who knew???  CLICK HERE for the recipe.  I was super happy with this playdough.  It is very, very soft and smells AH-Mazing.  The littles loved playing with it. 

We used our apple playdough on some apple tree playdough mats that I found HERE and printed and laminated.

Playdough Snails

I realize that this is not the best photo in the world, but I wanted to share a super-cute project we did this past week since we are completely enamored with SNAILS.  I found this idea HERE.  Basically you roll out a log of playdough, stick a pasta shell on the back for the shell, and use cloves for the eye stalks.  It could not be more simple.  Or more cute.  Seriously.
