The kids got homemade playdough from their daycare centre last year. It smelt like ginger bread yum yum and lasted ages.

DH & I usually eat the lollies too. But I'm not keen on it because I feel guilty taking something that belongs to the kids, even if I won't let them have it and it's not good on the waistline either.

I think with the internet now, it's so easy to find simple and creative things that are not sugar based.
