Playdough is a wonderful invention. Now that Matthew is a little less prone to eating non-food items (total poison control calls to date: 4) we are able to let him play with this stuff. It gave me 45 minutes of engaged toddler today, which let me mop the kitchen floor and vacuum.
Playdough, however, has a dark side. I now have a giant splotch of red playdough smooshed into the white fabric of our dining room chair. How to get it out? Well, you could follow my dad's advice:
To remove Play-doh from a fabric chair seat:
1. Put ice in a zip lock baggie and place it on the Play-doh spot
2. Wait at least 10 minutes
3. Go to basement and get Dennis' propane torch, light it, and burn the chair down to ashes where it sits, or,
4. Resign yourself to never having anything nice again until the kids are out of the house and just live with the Play-doh spot. At least the neighbors can't see it, and you may get lucky and Nolan may try to eat it soon.
My dad is so helpful! Now, if only we had a propane torch...
