DIY :: Play-Doh

When I taught pre-school, the teachers would go in a rotation to make our own Play-Doh for our ankle biters.  I mean, a school could go broke if they had to keep buying it and the stuff dries out so fast....so make it!  I couldn't find a recipe like the one we used, but this one is really close.  The only thing we didn't use was the Kool-Aid.  I'm sure it makes the play-doh smell good, but that also seems like it would lead to a lot more eating of it than playing with it.  ;-)

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 cup flour
• 1/2 cup salt2 t cream of tartar2 packages of Kool Aid (don't use purple, it turns grey)
• Food Coloring (optional)
• 1 T oil
• 1 cup water

INSTRUCTIONS:
Cook all ingredients over medium heat until it forms a ball (5-10 minutes).  You can enhance the colors by using food coloring if you like.  That's it!  Eazy Peezy Lemon Squeezy.


Have fun & get messy!

SCIENCE :: Growing Stalagmites

Hello Ankle Biter Art Friends!  It's been awhile since I stopped by, huh?!  Sorry about that....been busy over at Diary of a Featherhead getting that established, making jewelry and other artsy things and working on a play!  I haven't gotten together with my little ankle biter helpers Sam & Molly in a long while, so I don't have a homemade kid craft to share with you today, BUT I do have this great link to a fun science project!

Click THIS LINK for instructions...it will take you to a wonderful blog called Everyday Art.  I hope you and your little mad scientists enjoy this one!

Until next time...have fun and get messy!
:-)  Miss Jenna
p.s.  I'll try not to stay away for too long next time.
