Robot Playdough

We have family visiting right now so I'm a bit late in sharing this with you, but better late than never, right? :)

James and I had a blast creating little robots with a variety of odds and ends like old Christmas tree bulbs, beads, pipe cleaners, and paperclips.

I really wanted the playdough to be silver, but I couldn't find that shade of food coloring, so instead I created this kind of steel blue color (by mixing black and navy together) and added some silver glitter to it.

Click here to see my playdough recipe and notes, as well as links to our other playdough themes.

    Hmm I wonder if you could mix play doh and silver paint......

    Could make with clay, then paint silver :)

    Hi, I know this is an old post but I read your recent facebook update so I thought I'd pop over and say thanks for this.

    Along with the robot sensory box it saved my sanity this weekend while my husband was away! Please keep up the good work, I love your blog and often recommend it to others!
