 How & Why-Make This Easy Doh Recipe With Your Kids. by Susie E. Caron (c) 1-25-15 "What can I do today?" young children often ask. This may or may not be a familiar question in this age of electronics. However, it's ideal to have something else for your kids to do when they are bored, bugging you with endless questions, or needing a good old fashioned hands on activity. Activities, like the one below, will benefit you and your kids in these significant ways:
I saved this recipe I used when my own two children were little. Now you can make this doh with your kids, and give them some creative fun. Suggestion: Give them some cookie cutters to work with! Older children could make winter shapes or Valentines. Encourage them to use their imaginations & make creatures! My Favorite Fun Doh. NOTE: Adult is needed for the cooking step. Mix in a saucepan: 1 cup flour 1/2 cup salt 1 cup water 1 Tablespoon Cream of Tartar 1Tablespoon Cooking Oil Food color, or a package of unsweetened Kool-aid, if desired. Cook this mixture over low heat stirring constantly until mixture forms a ball. (It works quickly.) Remove from heat. Allow it to cool until you and the kids can knead it by hand. This must be stored in air-tight containers, but keeps for weeks. Did you enjoy this article? Would you enjoy more articles about practical, fun things you can do with your kids?

Here is a link to the Gak recipe. It stores for a long time in airtight container. The consistency is very wet at first, but it dries and changes consistency the longer you play with it. Then, after being stored, it will feel less elastic. But, the longer you play with it, the stretchier it gets. http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/lab/experiments/glue-borax-gak Comments are closed.

These are from my former life with many current memories and helps for parents. I retired from teaching, became a psychotherapist treating children and families and an author. After retiring I became a full time artist. I recently reopened this parenting blog because I believe wisdom is to be shared. Author of Chidren's Books, Christian, Wife, & Mother, I want to help you build parent-child relationships, 1 blog, & books at a time. When I'm not busy creating articles or paintings, you might find me looking for dark chocolate or playing with my Boxer, Josie. Disclaimer

Sheila Michelle July 13 at 7:17pm · Just wanted to say that I love your posts about the different ways to connect/relate/understand your child. It has given me a new approach towards understanding my daughter and allowing HER to tell me how she feels instead of me suggesting to her how she should feel. Thanks Susie! |
