I'm far from an expert on carpeting, but I do know that red and orange anything doesn't like to come out of our carpet here.<br /><br />After talking to my husband we decided to nix the Play Doh period as my daughter hasn't been very responsible with things like that lately. I think I've got a good back up plan, though, to give to her that won't cost anything.

She called me and told me that she was sending the kids some goodies, no objections from me or else ;). So, she's sending me a pack of Hot Wheels to empty into his stocking with the other things.<br /><br />Thank you again for the wonderful thought. I really really do appreciate it!!!Erika, "The Make Do Homemaker"https://www.blogger.com/profile/09303208981550053539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536514511090897212.post-34389775324240464972015-12-02T16:01:24.118-09:002015-12-02T16:01:24.118-09:00Ericka, I would love to send you some Hot Wheels f...Ericka, I would love to send you some Hot Wheels for your son!! My husband purchased a ton of them at a clearance sale, and we use them for gifts, toy drives, and Operation Shoebox.

Hhmmm, I know that you can use kool-aid to dye real sheep wool, so I'm guessing those carpets were wool based, not synthetic. If you have synthetic carpets now, I would think the dye shouldn't be a problem. Synthetics don't usually take dye's very well as they are basically a plastic material. I could be wrong though.

He likes to eat play doh so I guess the Kool-Aid play doh was even more of a temptation. Oh the stains that play doh left in the carpet. The carpets in our old play were permanently stained partially due to that stuff. I was impressed.<br /><br />Oddly, play doh itself seems to come out of the carpeting here alright without dying the carpet permanently, so I'm trying to stick with that. Although, I guess I could make the home made stuff and not add any coloring to it. Maybe glitter instead or something? Hmm.Erika, "The Make Do Homemaker"https://www.blogger.com/profile/09303208981550053539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536514511090897212.post-15402437633180061902015-12-01T14:09:25.507-09:002015-12-01T14:09:25.507-09:00Erika, when my daughter was younger, I used to mak...Erika, when my daughter was younger, I used to make her scented play dough using kool-aid packages (or cheaper store brand equivalent). Here's a link to the recipe: http://www.kraftrecipes.com/recipes/kool-aid-play-dough-148569.aspx. It makes a big batch with each packet and could easily be split for each of the stockings. One time I made it to use in the loot bags for my daughter's birthday party. If your children are not allergic to the kool-aid ingredients, perhaps you could make this for their stockings!Rhonda A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00448188064878559345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536514511090897212.post-66182998671242178862015-12-01T09:47:42.345-09:002015-12-01T09:47:42.345-09:00I love the after Christmas sales.
