We made some home-made play dough today. That is one of Mary's favorite things to do. She plays with it for hours, making "cookies", snakes, snowmen. just to name a few. What ever keeps her entertained. The recipe is on the bottom if anyone is interested.
No-Fail Kool-Aid Play Dough2 & 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup salt
2 pkg. unsweetened Kool-aid
3 Tbsp. oil
2 c. boiling water
Mix dry ingredients. Put oil in the center of dry mixture. Rapidly, stir in boiling water. It will be sticky at this stage. Set mixture aside until it is cool to touch. Knead well. It should be soft and smooth and not to sticky.
It is really easy and turns out great, Mary loves to make it. I store it in a zip-lock bag and it will last for quite a while.
We have been loving this nice weather! Mary has been outside as much as possible, she is ready for summer. We spent the day drawing with sidewalk chalk, jumping on the tramp, and riding her bike. It was so nice to get outside and not freeze.
Will was loving it too. He kept trying to eat the leaves. He is always so happy, he bring so much joy to our lifes!!!
We have started to teach Will how to climb the stairs. So far he doesn't really like it, unless there is a reward waiting for him at the top. I have learned that for Will to do something he needs some serious motivation. If he doesn't want to do something, it won't happen. He has a little bit of a stubborn streak.(I wonder were he gets that???)
