Say what! Fingerpaint and Playdough!

Hi girls! Keeping children busy isn't an easy task at the best of times. Instead of renting a DVD or games, why not try something a little different - make finger paint or play dough together and have some fun! Your local butcher will have large sheets of white paper for finger painting he should sell to you for next to nothing and you probably have all the ingredients in your cupboard for these great little ideas. You may have old place mats around, or go to your local handy store and purchase something suitable for your children to mold the play dough. Have fun with your little people! Fun to do outside on a sunny day!

Playdoh
2 cups of plain flour
1 cups cooking salt
2 cups water
2 tablespoons oil
2 tablespoons creme of tartar
Natural food colouring of your choice

Mix all ingregients together and pour into a baking dish.
Cook for 5 minutes at 150c in the oven or until solid.
Tip - You could add essintial oil of your choice to add a nice scent to the play doh! (tiny drop)


Finger paint
