Baking up Delights: All About Dough
In the creative world of play dough, one author has embarked on a unique journey - a 31-day exploration of the alphabet, aptly named "31 Days of ABCs." This exciting endeavour is hosted by All Done Monkey and involves a group of bloggers, each taking on a letter to share their play dough-related ideas and activities.
Our author, with a Pinterest board titled "Dough, Clay, Goop and Slime!", boasts over 200 play dough ideas. For the letter D, they have concocted a creative project involving straws, adding an exciting twist to the classic play dough.
Their play dough adventures have led them to various unique recipes, such as the classic homemade playdough, salt dough, gluten-free playdough, and a no-cook sand playdough made with conditioner and cornstarch. These versatile recipes provide a solid foundation for the "31 Days of ABCs" series.
Associating each letter with a different play dough ingredient, activity, or theme, the author has come up with intriguing ideas. For instance, 'A' stands for all-purpose flour, a staple in homemade playdough. 'B' represents baking, as in baking the salt dough creations. 'C' signifies conditioner, used in the no-cook recipe. 'D' focuses on decorations, like painting and decorating salt dough. 'E' signifies experimenting with different textures like sand.
One of the author's most memorable creations includes straw-eyed salt dough monsters and play dough birds made with feathers, straws, googly eyes, and craft foam beaks. They've also dabbled in using various herbs and spices to colour play dough and experimented with different flavours of Jello to create brightly coloured and scented play doughs.
In the realm of mud dough, anything goes, and the author has not shied away from creating unconventional concoctions. They've even attempted a glowing salt dough experiment, adding a touch of magic to their play dough creations.
The author's favourite dough recipe, however, is the banana dough, a recipe that combines the fun of play dough with a delightful aroma. With each new day, the author continues to explore the endless possibilities of play dough, inviting readers to join them on this creative journey.
The author's creative journey extends beyond play dough to other realms, showcasing unique lifestyle ideas such as fashion and beauty, as demonstrated by the incorporation of feathers, googly eyes, and craft foam beaks in their play dough creations. On the home-and-garden front, the author has refined various home-made play dough recipes, creating a diverse range of homemade concoctions like no-cook sand playdough, complete with conditioner and cornstarch.
