Activities and ideas for
babysitting If you don't have bubble blowers around the house, be creative and try using different objects from your utensil drawer, (e.g., apple corer, potato masher, handle of a basting brush, etc. They work.) |
*** Playdough ***
2 cups flour
4 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 cup salt
1 1/2 - 2 cups boiling water
3 - 4 Tablespoons vegetable oil
Food coloring
Add oil and food coloring to boiling water. Combine remaining ingredients,
and mix well. As you knead it, the dough will get smoother. Store in
airtight container. Very pliable and easy to roll or sculpt.
*** Edible Peanut Butter Playdough ***
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup honey
1 cup powdered milk
Knead until smooth.
*** Bakeable "Salt Clay"***
Use cookie cutters or mold Salt Clay by hand, then bake in a 300 degree oven
for use in creating refrigerator magnets, jewelry, ornaments, keychains,
necklaces, and more.
Stir together:
2 cups plain flour
1 cup salt
1 to 1 1/2 cups cold water
2 tablespoons cooking oil
Knead well until it forms a soft ball. Line a baking tray with aluminum
foil, make the shapes you want, and bake in the oven at 300 degrees or until
hard (about one hour).
You can use food coloring to color dough before you bake it, or paint it
afterwards. A finishing coat of shellac or clear acrylic will make your salt
clay products last longer.
