Making Play Doh

I'm going to be making some of this during the week and will hopefully be able to add some pictures of our adventure for you to see. I hope you enjoy this as it's a lot of fun to make and play with. It will harden and you can even save the beautiful items your children make if you'd like.

1 C Flour (not self rising)

1/2 C Salt

1 C Water

1 Tblspn Veggie Oil

1 1/2 Teaspoon Cream of Tarter

Add some drops of food coloring or Kool Aid (this will make it smell nice too).

Mix it all into a saucepan together until it begins to stick together & roll into a ball.

ENJOY!!!!

Bento Lunches

My 6 yr old son Andrew is beginning 1st grade this year- next week actually! He has a peanut and a tree nut allergy, so he will not be able to eat the lunches they serve at school. I decided to make it fun for him, and to get him to eat healthier foods than they sell in the school, I am going to buy him a Bento style lunch carrier, and make his lunch fun! I am really going to love experimenting with his lunches and seeing how he reacts.

My main goal for my family is making sure that we eat healthy. Knowing that I am making his lunch means that I know exactly what he is eating, and I know that its good for him.

Please check back for my experience with this challange!
