I know this is a bit late, but I wanted to get a post in about our Easter festivities. Munchkin and I flew out to Connecticut to visit her Aunt Ali over Easter weekend so the actual Easter celebrations were dispersed throughout the next week (spring break). After a great visit with my sister and her husband, and munchkin's first plane ride, we were ready to spend some time hanging out at home.
Like I said, it was after Easter by this time, so of course you know what that means...Easter candy sale! I found a really interesting recipe for Peeps Play-dough so we picked up a couple packs (pink of course).
Peeps Play Dough Recipe
- 5 Peeps
- 3 tbsp of corn starch (corn flour in the UK)
- 1 & 1/2 tsp of coconut oil (other oils will also work)
- Optional: Food coloring for rich coloring
- Combine the above ingredients in a microwave-safe bowl, and heat until the Peeps expand

| I had to really work it for a while until it became a consistency she could play with, and even then she kept saying "sticky, sticky!" |
 |
| After about 10 minutes it started to get a little hard so I added a little more oil. That gave it about another 15 min. It is definitely a one time use play-dough, but she had fun with the different texture and seeing the transformation so I would do it again. |

| Again, the Easter bunny came a week late, but sshh she's two and had no clue... It was always tradition in my house to hide the Easter basket, but since she's so young the Easter Bunny left a trail of his eggs all the way from her bed to where her basket was hidden behind the couch. When she woke us up in the morning she informed us, "there are eggs all over the floor!" |

I absolutely love ALL holidays mostly for getting to spend time with family I don't get to see everyday, the food, and most of all making new traditions with my husband and daughter!
