While a bit heavier, cookie sprinkles can also create a similar effect and are discovered equally as long as glitter, in about the same locations. In this case, pets are handy to assist in clean up.

I’m sitting here trying not to laugh and not succeeding at all I might add! Just the mental picture is all it took. I so needed a laugh this week. Thanks! I’m sorry that you will probably be vacuuming glitter for months….

Sorry to laugh at your expense….or Sean’s. Great advice. Snot = glitter glue.

I’m sorry for my loud outburst of laughter. I’ve been there and you will be finding glitter on things for a long time. After a while it will become funny. Maybe. The only thing I’ve had to ban from my home is Silly Putty.

All playdough, paint and related such mediums are banned to the deck (which is covered). In addition a art mat and butcher paper must be underneath child performing experiements and if said experiment is on a table (vs. an easel) then vinyl placemats are laid on the Ikea kids table which is moved outside for the project.

I hear fresh air is good for the creative juices!

I HATE cleaning up playdough from the rug and there will not be PAINT on my hardwood floors. Jello yes, paint no. BTW–Jello can actually “stain” that hardwood if left for more then say 24 hours.

Sounds like sound advice.

Thanks for the chuckle this morning, I needed it. That would totally happen to us. I can picture it now…

Despite a summer’s worth of shampoos and brushings, I’m STILL finding glitter on my daughter’s scalp (from when I let her go wild on a small tube of body-glitter gel).
