Making Play Dough!

oldPlaydough-2010-07-27-23-24.jpg
If you have kids you probably have this sitting around at home in little plastic jars. That is right, mixed-up Play dough. It turns green, then brown and no one wants to play with it anymore. I found a super and easy recipe to share. After they make their favorite creations, we can bake and paint them! You probably have everything you need in your pantry!
1 Cup of Flour
1/3 Cup os Salt
6 to 8 Table spoons of water.
Pour the water in one tablespoon at a time until the dough balls up and looks like play dough.

After we gathered our ingredients and measured everything out. I had my girls pour the flour, salt and water needed for their own dough ball into a gallon sized ziplock bag. This allowed them to mix it and squeeze the dough without the mess!

When the doug began to look like a ball. We pulled them out and started to create!!! With their play dough toys and cookie cutters ready they had a ball creating animals and dolls! We made a little bit more and pressed their hand prints into the dough!

The best part of this recipe is that if you bake the dough at 300 degrees it will harden and last for a while! You can paint them after they cool.
I hope you enjoy this easy Play Dough recipe for Kids!

Sweet Coin Purse Tutorial for Teacher Gifts

This time of year is so special to me because I get to show my gratitude for all of the hard work that goes into teaching my daughters. I love to make handmade gifts and this year is no exception. Since money does not grow on trees around here, I looked at my stash (I keep my scraps in hat boxes ) and tried to see what I had a lot of; small zippers, trims, Peltex strips ( from making iPad cases ), fabric scraps and some hardware for key fobs. So I set to work.  Materials: Plastic multipurpose 5" Zipper  Fabric Scraps Lightweight interfacing 808 Pellon Trims (We clipped  key fobs  with 1.5" swivel hooks onto our coin purses . There are tons of tutorials on making key fobs .) Step 1: Print out the Coin Purse Template  PDF.  Cut 2 main fabric, cut 2 lining and 2 interfacing using the template.  Optional: Cut a 2"X2" square of your choice main fabric or lining. This strip of fabric is used to clip a key fob to your coin purse later. We used a 1.5
