National Junk Food Day 2021

Me: Happy Junk Food Day.
Nichole: Good. I had Nerds for breakfast.
 
Are you familiar with Cocomelon? It's for little kids. It's animated. They have lots of songs, nursery rhyme songs, and songs based on those tunes. Go do a search for it on YouTube. 
Cocomelon has become a thing in my home with my toddler and my older kids of course will watch with him. Sometimes they just watch and sometimes they will point out how certain things are not entirely accurate or mistakes that were made. That's what happens when older kids watch little kid shows.
Anyway... one of the songs is about how Mommy or Daddy sneak to the kitchen in the middle of the night to eat junk food and the other parent catches them. The things they eat are pizza, ice cream, donuts, and candy. Finally the kids catch both parents in the kitchen eating junk food so they all eat carrots together at the end.
Of course my family is creative in celebrating so the kids suggested for National Junk Food Day on July 21 that we eat all the things from that video. We ate some of them but not all. I did make edible playdough to go along with a board game we played as a family that evening. We needed something for sculpting.
Creativity is fun. Family time is fun.

National Play-doh Day 2013

Family Home Evening.  Jr. was in charge of the activity.  When he heard we were doing FHE on National Play-doh Day, September 18, he knew he wanted us to do edible playdough again.  That was fine with Jeremy since he was in charge of the treat.  Taken care of.
All three of the kids did a great job measuring the ingredients.  Once again it was easy to make and easy to play with.
Nichole's sleeping giant.

It was a good Family Home Evening activity and treat.

National Play-Doh Day 2012

O.K.  National Play-Doh Day.  Some people say it's September 16th every year.  Some people say it's September 18th every year.  I say, what a great excuse for me to finally make the edible playdough I'd been wanting to for a long time.  I got a recipe for peanut butter playdough from the site, Our Best Bites.  And we had fun.

Some things I like about edible playdough:

It's really easy.

I'm not afraid to let my littlest play with it.

The kids are allowed to eat it.

And I can even join in.
