whatdidIthink

As part of the Twin Kitchen debut we received a fun box of Yummy Dough to enjoy!  Enjoy the twins did! You can swing on over to Twin Kitchen to see how much fun they had creating their own masterpieces and then actually getting to EAT THEM!

As a mom…it seems you are constantly saying “no” as in “No, don’t eat that!” and “No, don’t put that in your mouth!”. I realize that I don’t say it as much now as when they were toddlers but believe me I still say it a lot more then I want.

The twins are very creative and found the  Yummy Dough to be exciting! Play-Doh you can actually eat (without mom saying “No”).  One Yummy Dough box contains backloewefour different color pouches. They provide you with the basic colors of red, yellow, blue and green.  Yummy Dough provides a great teaching tool on the side of the box which carefully demonstrates how you can get different colors by mixing the four basic colors together. As a home school mom I thought that was  a great feature and so simple to include.  Good thinking Yummy Dough.

The Yummy Dough mixture was simple to create. Getting the right dough was totally dependent on the amount of water you put into the mixture. Thankfully the packaging came complete with a little syringe that held the exact amount of water needed.

The only thing that surprised us with the Yummy Dough was that it required “baking paper” which we didn’t have and didnt’ realize we needed until we were ready to try it out.  We found it easily in our grocery store as Parchment paper.

Yummy Dough website is a great resource for tutorials and tips for parents and kids. It will provide you with fun inspiration for great designs.  Yummy Dough taste a lot like Sugar Cookies so they are not only FUN to play with and create but yummy to eat! Hmmm…? Probably why they call it Yummy Dough! Go get some!

tidbits

Yummy Dough is actually a multi-purpose toy! Mixed with water the Yummy Dough powder turns into smooth, kneadable, well shapeable dough which can be baked afterwards. You can eat it raw and after it is baked.

Yummy Dough cleverly combines two favorite childhood activities: creating designs with play dough and baking with mom, dad or a grandparent — a wonderful bonding experience for all generations

These are the main important points:blech

  1. Add the EXACT amount of water to the Yummy Dough powder.
  2. Stir the mixture with a spoon until you have a crumbly dough.
  3. Knead the dough with your hands until you have an even lump.

To Get Started:

  • Wash your hands and off you go!
  • Add the EXACT amount of water to the Yummy Dough powder.
  • Stir the mixture with a spoon until you have a crumbly dough.
  • Knead the dough with your hands until you have an even lump.
  • Now you can start to mould the Yummy Dough!
  • When not using Yummy Dough, wrap it in Saran Wrap so that it does not dry out.
  • Put the Yummy Dough figures on a baking sheet with baking paper. Bake them for 10 to 20 minutes depending on the size and thickness.
