Is play dough just hopelessly messy?
DS and DD love to play with it, but clean up frustrates me. It ends up in multi-colored bits all over the table and floor. I think I'm going to switch to home made play dough in just one color as that will be more straightforward to clean up and seems to be less crumbly than the stuff from the store, but still, it's making me a bit frustrated.
I love that they (especially the 4 yo) will play with it independently for a long period of time, but then I feel like I pay for the break with the clean up. He does help some with clean up, but especially with the stuff on the floor, it just seems beyond what he's really able to clean effectively.
As I'm typing this I'm thinking part of my solution may also be getting a better bin to put the tools in instead of the plastic zipper thingy they came in as it's not super-kid friendly either.
