Cheap Entertainment

What do you do when you are home watching conference and looking for kid friendly entertainment with all the supplies on hand? Make play dough!!! We were desperate for a little something to do today and this was just the right thing. The kids were very excited to help make it and each choose their own color.


1 Cup Flour
1 Cup Water
1/2 Cup Salt
1 T. Oil (cooking oil)
Food Coloring

Mix all ingredients together over medium heat and cook. Stir continuously until starts to get thick and pull away from edges. Remove from heat and let cool. These measurements are good for about one person, but you can easily double it.


Every time I turned around Liv was trying to put some in her mouth.

Cole made a few snowmen, but then he basically just smashed it everywhere.

Ethan was really into making things, creatures, and shapes. Can you see the concentration in his face? And notice how he is sticking out his tongue, if you watch Shawn he does the same thing when he concentrates.
