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!

Dragons

 With Michaelmas, the feast of Saint Michael approaching it was time for a little dragon fun.  This craft was inspired by a tissue paper hat.  I drew a dragon and copied it on our school printer due to the amount of children I work with.  Then I cut up colorful tissue paper in small piece for an easy crumple.  Each child with free to color and dress up their dragon with crayons and tissue dots.  To make the tissue dot crumple the paper and lightly dip it into glue and let the magic unfold. 

Candle Wax Boats

These are wonderful little candle boats that I made using a very simple wax kit that can be bought at Micheals. I used a old jar and melted the wax in a pot of water. Then very carefully poured it in to the pods. With the heat of the hot wax it is not an activity to do with children- but was a magical boat!!   Enjoy

Apple so Red
How it went. It was really fun for the children they said they felt like their where wrapping pasta on a fork.  We made wonderful red apples and found the easiest way to tie them was take the whole bundle of yarn off the fork, find the middle and cut it in half, then lay it down on the table and use another piece of yarn to tie the middle tight.
