Homemade crafts/activities

The creativity bug has bitten me. Im enjoying making these crafts vs buying them in the stores. Living where we live simply going to the store isnt an option anyhow...so thats when you get creative...LOL

This week alone weve made homemade playdough and bubbles!

This weekend will be spent making homemade dye for Easter eggs and finger paints!

You also have to get creative when having a special needs child who cannot have ANY artificial dyes

Here are the recipes for homemade playdough and bubbles...Feel free to share!

PLAYDOUGH: 2 cups white flour

1 cup salt

2 teaspoon Cream of Tartar

2 Tablespoons cooking oil

2 cups water

5-6 drops of food coloring of your choice

1 Tablespoons vanilla extract

With this recipe Food Coloring WAS used.

HOMEMADE BUBBLES:

1 gallon water

2/3 cup dishwashing soap

2-3 tbsp. glycerin

I have found that lessening the amount of water used(If any)produces MORE bubbles.

I will post pictures as soon as I locate my phone:P
