We're Tootin' Your Horn | Gluten Free Playdough

Cheers to Daily Candy for shoutin' out about non-toxic, child safe playdough made with all natural ingredients....by ItsMadeAtHome, an amazing Etsy Shop.


Want a little bit of Playdough history? Did you know that Playdough was first introduced as a wallpaper cleaner? Appearing in 1956, an off white pliable dough was invented as an alternate form of "modeling clay". In 1965, Mr. McVicker applied for a patent. Little did he know that this clay would someday provide hours of child entertainment...capturing imagination and developing fine motor skills in children all over the world. Remember those card board cans? 1986 brought the new plastic containers sure to keep the brightly colored playdough soft and pliable. And what is it made of? That remains a secret but we know for sure that the recipe includes wheat flour and salt (yup, salt....a taste that left a lifetime impression).

Wheat flour? You got it! And for those kiddos who are allergic to Gluten, playdough is a no, no! For you moms that want an alternative....check out ItsMadeAtHome Gluten Free Playdough. Shouldn't every child be able to engage in Playdough fun?

Wiggle, Wiggle, Wiggle....Squirm!

A sneak peak| Bellflower Textiles Tooth Buddy Pillow!
Several fun printed styles (including a custom pink print) are arriving next week. We'll pair these amazing fun tooth fairy pillows with a special hardcover classic book. Check out the cute tooth pocket made for tooth fairy treasures. In our house, the tooth fairy is almost as "big" as Santa Claus. A great way to help those growing children celebrate changes. I know I was always scared but thrilled when a tooth was loose. Dreams of the tooth fairy made me brave! I have to say though as our classic kids "wiggle, wiggle, wiggle" those little white teeth....I still "squirm" inside!

From A Mother's Cupboard - Rainbow Layered Finger Jello

A good friend of mine from preschool (yes...preschool..long long time friends) always had yummy Rainbow Layered Finger Jello at her birthday parties. Eye catching and oh so good! The kids love them and a no mess snack for mom :)

Rainbow Layered Finger Jello

Colored Layers:

4 (3 oz) boxes of Jello

4 c boiling water

4 envelopes of Knox Gelatin

White Layers:

1 can Sweetened condensed milk

1 1/2 c boiling water

1/2 c cold water

4 envelopes Knox Gelatin

Lightly grease a 9x13 pan. Mix 1 pkg jello with 1 env knox gelatin & 1 c boiling water. Mix til dissolved. Pour into pan, remove any bubbles using a fork and place in fridge on a flat surface. Let set 15 min while mixing white layer.

Put 4 envelopes knox gel in a bowl. Pour 1/2 c cold water over powder and stir, let set. Pour 1 1/2 c boiling water over mixture and whisk. Add 1 can sweetened condensed milk and stir. Pour 1 c of milk mixture over the set jello and refridge for 10-15 min.

Repeat layers as many times as you want. The milk recipe will make 4 layers. If the milk mixture thickens too much while waiting for the jello to set, you can place it in the microwave for a few second until it melts...stir again to smooth out. Cut into rectangles or us cookie cutters to make cute shapes. Have fun & experiment with different colors. Red/White for VDay, Red/Green for Christmas etc
