Some of you do have me thinking though-maybe I am being a little ocd? Mixing colors most definitely would be a learning and creative opportunity! Maybe I'll have to have a talk with the kids and let them help decide what our play-dough rules should be.
Yeah my kids would get upset too. We have to buy playdough out of our own pockets, so we'd either end up with brown all the time, or be replacing it every week.
That's probably something it will be hard to let go of...even when I'm on my own.
