Pretty cool stuff, man.

So my mom has this really cool recipe book. Accept it's not really a recipe book. Well, it is a recipe book but it has some pretty other cool stuff in it, like stories and how to make emergency baby formula and other stuff for little kids. I was looking through it and thought I would share some cool stuff I found.

Children's Soap Bubbles:
2/3 C. Water
1/3 C. liquid dish soap
3/4 Tsp. Glycerin
Food Coloring


In a bowl, stir together the water, detergent, and glycerin. Add the food coloring drop by drop to obtain desired color. Pour mixture into an empty commercial bubbles bottle to use along with the accompanying plastic hoop. Haha.

Homemade Playdough:
1 C. flour
2 tsp. cream of tartar
1 C. Water
1/2 C. salt
1 T. oil
Food coloring


Cook all ingredients slowly, stirring until it forms a ball. Cool, and knead until lumps are gone.

Corn Starch Fingerpaints:
2 C. Water
1/4 C. corn starch
Food coloring


Bring water to a boil. Add a small amount of water to the corn starch and blend together to make a paste. Gradually add paste to the boiled water. Stir well. Bring to a boil, remove from heat, and add food coloring. Cool and play. Use butcher paper. You can also paint with pudding. It's fun and you can lick your fingers.
