Fun Stuff to Make

Kool-Aid Play Dough!
1 cup of flour
2 t. cream of tarter
1/2 cup salt
1 pkg. of Kool- Aid
1 tb. oil
1 cup water

Mix dry ingredients. Add liquids. Stir and cook to a boil over
medium heat. Store in air tight container.

Finger Paints!
1/2 cup flour
2 cups water
food coloring

Mix the flour with a little water, stirring out the lumps. When
smooth, slowly stir in the rest of the water. Cook over medium
heat, stirring constantly until the mixture gets thick and shiny.
Pour some of the mixture into small containers (yogurt or baby
food works well).
Stir in the drops of food coloring until the paint is bright and the
color you want. Let cool. Salt can be sprinkled into the wet
paint to create a sparkling effect when dry.  Use this technique
on dark-colored paper for snow scenes or eerie ghosts.

Silly Glob!
1/2 cup of Borax
2 quarts + 1-1/2 cups of water
2 cups of white glue
food coloring ( choose one color)
Lysol ( the Lysol stops spoiling)
plastic bags for storage

1.  Mix together 1/2 cup of Borax with 2 quarts of water. Allow
the mixture to settle and then use only the clear liquid.  Set
aside.

2.  Mix 2 cups of white glue (elmers is the best)  with 1-1/2 cups
of water. Add food coloring (just a few drops) if you would like
the GLOB to have color.  Add a few drops of Lysol
(this prevents spoilage).  

3.  Add the clear liquid in #1 with the mixture in #2.  Knead the
mixture together with your hands into your SILLY GLOB.

4.  Store in plastic bag (zip lock type is the best).

beverage holders, paper cups, plastic coat hangers, straws, and
funnels.
