The Taming of the Barbarians



We haven't been to school in a week, and it is too cold outside to play, so we have gone a bit nuts in the house. It is amazing how just a bit of playdough makes it all okay. We made some great playdough together and they played with it for a long time!!! It all gets really quiet with their little hands working so hard. Very nice when I am trying to make dinner. Every once in a while, Caroline decides to taste it- that is so her to eat everything she sees and touches, but at least it is safe- gross, but safe. It is a great no cook recipe that I found! Just store it in a bag in refrigerator and can last about a week.


No Cook Playdough


1 cup cold water

1 cup salt

2 tsp. oil

3 cups flour

2 TBSP cornstarch

powdered paint or food coloring (optional)


Mix water, salt, oil, and coloring. Gradually work in flour and cornstarch until it reaches a bread dough consistency. Knead and use. Easy- may need to add more water/ flour to get to right consistency. Have fun!!!!
