The kids are addicted to the fort. I have a feeling I am going to be cleaning up chairs and blankets for a long time. This is their version from today. I am glad they like it-keeps em busy ya know?
Today we made play dough among other things. It was a lot of fun for the boys to see it made and a lot of fun playing with it.
Play dough:
1 c. flour
1/2 c. salt
1 c. water
2 tsp. cream of tartar
1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
Combine ingredients in saucepan and cook over low heat until mixture is like mashed potatoes. Pour out onto waxed paper and knead for a short time. Store in a plastic bag. Food coloring may be added as desired.
Separate it into 3 balls. I thought it was just enough for each of them. I think they were good with it although I know they would have liked more.
I always make a hole to put the food coloring in and then cover it up before we start to knead the color in. This keeps to food coloring stains on the hands to a minimum.
I gave them plastic knives and cookie cutters to play with too. They honestly played with the play dough for a very long time. It is always nice when I get them into something that can hold their attention.
The kids keep putting it away, getting it out, putting it away, getting it out...at least I know they like it right?
