Natures Play dough

So easy and fun to make.
Here's the recipe one of the wonderful parents at my school shared with me. She found it on line at Waldorf in the Season of Life, its called Lucy's playdoh:

Recipe:

2 cups flour
2 cups water
1cup salt
1tbs oil
4tsp cream of tartar

You mix all the ingredients together in a stove pot and cook the mixture on low for 5 to 10 minutes until it has reach your desired consistence.  To help it last a long time keep it in the refrigerator in a airtight container. Enjoy! We took out all of my grandmothers old cookie cutters and made a cookie factory!

Toa of Craft

A blog that I am finding wonderful ideas in is the Tao of Craft. Such a beautiful bright blog with so many different offerings. I made gnome houses with my children at school and got the idea here.  They were so simple to make and the children loved them. The photo that inspired me to make the houses with the children came from a camp that tao of craft's children went to at a Roaring Fork's Waldorf School The camp is called Camp Oginali. Enjoy.

Pom Pom Apples for All

Today with the children I am going to be making pom-pom apples out of a red yarn that I found at a thrift store.  I saw a photo of how you can make them by wrapping them around a fork but with another look today the blog is not up and  running at the moment so I will include this link oddsockworld. Enjoy
