Stacks of Color

Doesn't look nice! Rows of colors ready to be played with. This is 7 different favors of Kool aid made into play dough, ready to be given as gifts to K's friends. I am still trying to figure out how to divide up what I have and who is getting it, but I know it will get used. What I like about this recipe is how soft the dough is and how it smells.

The recipe for this is super easy.

2 cups of water

2 cups of flour

1/3 cup salt

2 tbsp of vegetable oil

and 2 packages of kool aid

Boil the water, and add in the oil. Then add the dry ingredient and mix up. it helps to knead the dough a little to finish mixing in the flour and color. I was able to fill 7 large size baby food containers (the gerber brand). I loved that I have reused some containers, and made a great gift for our friends kids. I even have labels on hand to use!

Snack days for preschool

My Daughter's preschool has a policy of no sugary snack for snack time. Which is great. And they also set it up that about every 6 weeks your child brings in the snack and gets to bring in a show and tell item. For K's first snack this year I did grapes and pretzels. The other challenge is the snacks has to be individually wrapped so the kids can pass out the snack. So in my challenge to watch my use of items (ie plastic bags), I came up with a reusable solution. K likes yogurt especially the Dora version. So I have been saving the cups and sent her grapes in the washed out cups with a small amount of wrap over them. Pretzels I get a big container in the fall at Sam's club of the Bats and Jacks from Utz Chips. So snack time has rolled around for the 2nd time. This time it is Carrots and Pretzels. Lucky because I get to use the the yogurt cups for the carrots again and I happen to still have some Halloween Pretzels. I love when things work out.

Carrots all in the cups ready to go.
