Sleepless Mom

A blog for moms

Fun Craft For Kids During Quarantine

I’m sure we all can agree that we’re running out of ways to entertain our little ones these days. Staying at home has been tough, but it’s definitely given us a chance to spend more family time together. Now coming up with the activities is the real challenge!

I thought back to my own childhood, seeing as back in the day, we could make fun out of almost anything in the house. And I remembered that sometimes, if we were lucky, my mother would help us make our very own homemade play dough! We absolutely loved this as kids, and now my kids do, too!

Homemade Play Doh

I know what you’re thinking… play dough sounds like the messiest idea you could think of. But I promise you it’s actually really simple and the kids love it.

Homemade Play Doh Ingredients:

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup salt
  • 1/2 water
  • Food color or washable paint (optional)

What’s cool about this recipe is that if your kids create something that you want to keep forever you can bake the dough at 200° F until it’s firm.

I hope you guys enjoy this recipe as much as I do!

About Jessica

Jessica Sleepless Mom Welcome sleepless moms! I haven’t had a full nights rest in over 2 years. Why, you ask? Because like you, juggling a toddler and a baby, working, and finding time for myself has left me sleepless, yet full of joy.

The inspiration for my blog came from tirelessly searching online for the answers new moms have, just to find out there is no right answer. My hope and vision is to create a community for moms to comment and share real life stories with one another when Google just isn’t cutting it. Whether you have specific questions or just want to comment and relate, this is your space to ask your fellow moms advice and know you’re not the only one that screws up from time to time.

I have assembled a well-rounded team that’s here to share their struggles and successes with you, as well as offer support in any way possible. This is an interactive site and we are here to cater to your mom needs. Please feel free to contact our team members with new topics you want us to tackle or even simple questions about motherhood. That’s what we are here for….
