We decided to use the peanut butter play-dough recipe I had seen in a book, so that our 2 yr olds could enjoy an edible version of their bible story that week. However, we did not know that edible peanut butter play-dough should only be consumed in very, very small quantities. I stress small! 30 minutes after consuming a generous portion of their creations, all 40 toddlers were having seriously messy bowel movements in a room with no windows. The ushers thought a sewer line had broken, as the classroom was, of course, located right next to the main sanctuary. With only a few minutes to go before service got out, we were frantically trying to change diapers, light candles, spray air fresheners, and clean up the mess. Unfortunately, some of the children were in the toilet training process and were not wearing diapers. I have never used edible play dough since then.
