Rainy weekend - Activity Number 1: Uncooked Playdough |
|
|
So it is Sydney's third consecutive rainy weekend. Will it ever be sunny or a sun-day again???
Time to take action.
We killed 93 minutes (and probably as many dollars) seeing Shrek 3.
Then it was home time and a long afternoon of
fighting over toys and what dvd to watch next.
And then I had an idea...
Uncooked Playdough
Ingredients
1 cup plain flour
1/4 cup salt
1 tbspn cooking oil
A few drops of food colouring
1/2 cup water
Directions
• Mix the flour and salt together. Add the oil.
• Add the food colouring to the water, then add the coloured liquid, a little at a time to the flour mixture.
• Knead until the mixture is smooth and has the consistency of scone dough.
• Multiply the quantity by the number of children using the dough. Children can mix this themselves.
Kept them busy for about 2 hours, enough time for dh and I watch a movie. And cheap to make again when it dries out

I usually do the cooked one but I will try this one, anything to keep them busy and off my back LOL.
