Playgroup presents?
« on: December 11, 2012, 12:58:16 pm »
I was thinking of making presents for our playgroup Christmas party this Friday (depending on if I get time). Any suggestions? They are about 15 months old and approx 10-12 of them?

Also considered making playdough (which I have never made in TMX) but think they might still be a bit young for that.

Any easy suggestions?

lots of playdough, in lots of colors. you can always add some glitter to it, or essential oil to make it smell nice.

kids will love it,
My Thermomix,  Kitchen Aid, Pizza oven, Nu Wave 5 in 1, Spatulas, all brings love, laughter, happiness, and great food  to my kitchen.

Playdough is probably your best option as children that young have varying tastes when it comes to food. My boys love play dough with glitter in it.

I saw a recipe somewhere in TMX land for gingerbread play dough! That would be nice and festive.

Playdough is brilliant in the TMX

I didn't end up making anything as some things came up unexpectedly. It wasn't too bad 'cos nobobdy else did too :)

We all had a great time and end to the year though.

I've been thinking the same thing for our playgroup Tasty and I have until Monday...Only this morning did I remember I've seen a picture somewhere online of zip-lock bags with red and green playdough (& depending on age 2 googly eyes and a pipecleaner for antennae) and a photo on the front of how to make "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" using the things provided. I'm going to have a go at this because we love The Very Hungry Caterpillar and red + green = Christmas :)
I know it's too late now for most, but might be a thought for next year :) I'll try to post a pic when I'm done!
I have a Facebook page with all things cooking, you'll find it here: https://www.facebook.com/What-Amber-Ate-1097437023601587/
