Home Made Playdough

We wanted to find a good, non-toxic, home made play dough recipe for our kids.  After searching, we found one.  We have it saved here for our future reference, and for you!

INGREDIENTS

1 cup - All-Purpose Flour
1 cup - Water
2 tsp - Cream of Tartar
1/3 cup - Salt
1 Tbs - Oil
Food Coloring

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Mix all ingredients in a 2-quart saucepan.
2. Cook over low/medium heat, stirring.
3. Continue stirring until the mixture is thickened and begins to gather around the spoon.
4. Remove the dough onto wax paper or a plate to cool.
5. After play, store in plastic bag or container of your choosing.

NOTES

The recipe calls for Vegetable Oil, but you can substitute for other oils.  We used liquid coconut oil with perfect results.

Soothe the Moods

TLDR: Lithium Orotate saved our marriage.  It has helped balance my mood, and help me think clearly. We were having some difficulties in our marriage recently.  And the problem was me.  I was trying hard to be a husband and father, providing for the family, etc.  The next thing I knew, my wife was complaining about how she isn't being supported or heard.  She didn't feel safe.

Conquistador Scavenger Hunt

As a homeschool family, we try to find, or create, fun/interactive learning experiences.  Recently we had some fun.  We wanted to teach our kids about Spanish Conquistadors.  Now, to be fair, I'm not sure how perfectly accurate we got everything.  But we did our best. We put together a Scavenger Hunt, with 16 slips of paper.  Each paper taught a little something about the Conquistadors.  I then wrote on the back of each slip, a clue for where the next paper was hidden in the house.  The last few slips were hidden downstairs, where my wife had done her magic. My wife went downstairs to dress things up to look like a forest.   Using colored paper, cardboard, streamers, and some tape.  And a week before that, we did a paper mache activity, where me made Conquistador helmets.  See our scavenger hunt learning snippets below.
