What kind of boat, small two seater or cabin crusier???
How to Make Play Dough
Making play dough is easy. Kids and grown-ups of all ages will love this fun (and inexpensive) activity.
Ingredients
4 cups of plain flour
4 cups of water
2 cups salt
4 tbsp of cooking oil
Food coloring (optional), Kool-Aid, or Jello powder (use different flavors for different colors and aromas)
1 tblsp. cream of tartar (optional) for each cup of flour (this stops the dough cracking and makes it stretchable)
Steps
Gather the necessary ingredients and mix the dry ingredients together.
Add food coloring to the water. This optional step will create colored play dough.
Consider adding other fun ingredients to change the texture or appearance of the dough (such as desiccated coconut, or cocoa powder). You can also use peppermint or other oils to give the dough a different smell. Be careful that these enticing smells don't tempt the child to eat it though.
Mix all of the ingredients in a large pan and heat it over medium heat.
Stir constantly until the dough feels like stiff, smooth, mashed potatoes. At this point, take it off the stove. Once it has cooled enough, knead it until it is blended smoothly.
Store the dough in an airtight container, like a Ziploc® bag.
The only limit to what you can make is your imagination.
Tips
Adding a tablespoon of alum to the mixture will make the dough less palatable to a child, reducing the likelihood that the child will eat it. The alum also works as a preservative to help slow down the growth of bacteria. Storing the dough in the refrigerator when not in use, will also help keep the growth of mold or bacteria down.
Alum is used in pickling and is non-toxic.
Slime is very popular and lots of fun. It is much cheaper to make at home, and easy to do. It only requires 3 basic ingredients which are readily available.
Things You'll Need
Water
1 part Elmer's glue (you'll need a lot, so purchase about a gallon from a hardware store).
1 part water
food coloring (if desired)
1 part borax (can be purchased in the detergent section of your local store)
Steps
Gather your supplies. See "Things You'll Need."
Create a "stock solution" of borax by mixing borax in a quart jar filled with water, until no more borax dissolves.
Mix together enough water and glue until you have a watery glue-like solution. Add food coloring to the watery glue solution.
Stir the borax solution into the watery elmer's and watch the slime form.
Variations
The recipe be modified by varying the proportion of the ingredients. For example, if 2 parts borax solution are used, the slime that forms is "harder" and less gooey.
Mystery Paint
Materials:
baking soda
water
paper
paintbrush
food color of choice
Steps:
Just mix equal parts baking soda and water, then paint a message on a piece of paper. Let dry for an hour.Mix water with a little food coloring. Paint over dried mixture and your message will be revealed.
Bubble Wands
Blowing the perfect bubble depends on equal parts science and magic.
With a few twists of wire, you can make fantastic bubble wands and spend long, lazy days practicing your technique.
The best bubble solution is 10 cups water to 4 cups dish-washing liquid, plus 1 cup Karo corn syrup. For large wands, you’ll need plastic-coated wire coat hangers and either floral netting or plastic-coated chicken wire. Hold the hook at the top of the hanger, and pull the bottom down so that it forms a circle. Cut away the hook and twisted neck of the hanger with wire cutters; you should have about a 31-inch length of wire. With needle-nose pliers, twist a tiny hook into one end of the wire. Bend that end around, and hook it on the wire about 9 inches from the opposite end, forming a 7-inch-diameter circle. Squeeze the hook with pliers to fasten, and straighten the end to form a handle. Cut an 8-inch-diameter circle of floral netting. With pliers, fold the netting’s edge tightly around the frame, snipping off any sharp ends. For small wands, use 18-gauge cloth-covered wire cut to a length of 15 inches. Bend the wire into a lollipop shape, securing the end of the wire where the loop meets the handle with a dab of glue. To make a star, divide the circle into five even increments, then crimp with pliers. To make a heart, crimp only the top center of the circle. A tin can, with its top and bottom removed, also makes great bubbles-carefully trim any sharp edges, dip one end in solution, and pull through the air to make one long bubble.
