Kids Craft

This week we did a morning on Craft Ideas for Kids:

Here is the recipe to Playdough (cooked) and Finger Paint. There are both cheap forms of entertainment for your toddler. Messy? Well, now that summers here, we do this craft outdoors. Yay for Sun!

Playdough

1 c salt, 2 c flour, 2 c water, 2 tabs cooking oil, 4 tsp Cream of Tarta, food colouring.

Put all in a pot, heat and stir. Catherine's tip is to put the food colouring right at the start so you don't have to work it through afterwards. Once it starts to stay together in the pot looking like playdough, pull it out and knead it.

Finger Paint

1 c flour, 1 c cold water, 3 c boiling water, food colouring.

Mix the flour and cold water, stirring until smooth. Pour the mixture gradually into the boiling water and bring to the boil, stirring constantly. Add colouring and cool.

Thanks Catherine!
