Kid Dough

Save small covered yougurt containers or ziplock baggies.

In a large heavy sauce pan stir together
3 cups flour 2 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil
1 1/2 cup salt 1 Tablespoon Cream Of Tarter
3 Cups Water Food coloring

Cook over medium heat until dough sticks together in a
ball. Remove from heat and cool.

Seperate the dough into 6 parts and add coloring. Cover your hands with gloves and knead dough until evenly colored.

Collect cookie cutters, straws, toothpicks, and a rolling pin or smooth sided jar. To roll and cut shapes. When done playing return dough to sealed containers.

Some fun ideas are picture frames, egg cup holders, tooth brush holder, flowers, key bowel. Spraying forms with spray release will keep them from sticking to the mold. If you want to prevent scratches to wood surface clue on a felt pad on the base.

Mix even parts of dish soap and water in a small containers. Add different drops of food coloring. Have the child dip a straw into the soapy mixture and blow the mixture on to heavy stock paper. Let dry and the creation is finished.

We did a project with fabric spray paints on t-shirts. One of them we cut out stencils for the school logo and sprayed around the stencil on a black t-shirt. It turned out awesome! We had people asking us where we bought it. The others I just let the kids go wild with whatever they wanted. They were quite the shirts...
