Usually I put an old blanket in the front yard with different shapes and we start making animals and objects. Usually I make something and I ask my son to try to guess what it is. Then he makes something and I try to guess. This way he plays and learns new words too.Irenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15864231253344901103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5069140341550751353.post-62874589048410064092010-04-12T10:08:51.497-04:002010-04-12T10:08:51.497-04:00I have a great KoolAide recipe that we love at our...I have a great KoolAide recipe that we love at our house.<br /><br />5 cups flour<br />1 cup salt<br />4 packages of koolaide<br />4 c boiling water<br />6 tablespoons of oil<br /><br />Boil water, take off heat and add oil. Mix flour, salt and koolaide. Pore water and oil over flour picture and stir. Mixture may look a bit dry but don't worry, scoop out dough on a floured surface and knead. At first it may seem like it won't work but keep kneeding and it comes together into a great dough. This is my favorite of any recipe I have tried. I often make half a batch but the kids seem happy when they have lots of dough to play with. They also like that they can pick what color of play dough they want when we buy the koolaide at the store. Hope you like this recipe.Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10832176798823966561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5069140341550751353.post-23394454428870474692010-04-06T21:53:16.896-04:002010-04-06T21:53:16.896-04:00Same goes for finger paint, tempera paint, waterco...Same goes for finger paint, tempera paint, watercolors and colored sand...just about everything is washable :)Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14154306906982401974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5069140341550751353.post-23235959419634648352010-04-06T18:25:06.615-04:002010-04-06T18:25:06.615-04:00This is awesome!

I spread it on the floor and let them have at it. When they're through, I fold the sheet up on itself and take it outside and give it a shake (way out in the pasture, that is). It's kinda fun to see the colors in the grass too.Kerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08472241005977420201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5069140341550751353.post-67895620547535231562008-11-25T23:03:00.000-05:002008-11-25T23:03:00.000-05:00My oldest LOVES his!!!
