I'm linking up with 1+1+1=1 today to share some of the fun Christmas activities Isaac and I did over the past few weeks!
 |
2 cups plain flour
1 tsp. cream of tartar
1 cup salt
2 cups water
1 Tbsp oil
glitter (the more, the better!)
food coloring (I found that Wilton's coloring gel worked better than liquid food coloring)
1/2 tsp. (or more) scented oil or flavored extract
- Mix wet and dry ingredients separately and then mix together in medium saucepan.
- Cook slowly on medium-high and stir until the playdoh thickens.
- Dump onto wax paper and (carefully) knead until cool. Store in airtight container

| These little friends all had fun playing with the peppermint Playdoh, too. :) |
Isaac also made this hand print Christmas tree. I think any type of craft involving hand prints is so adorable. I found the idea here, and, since I was already in such a glitter-using mood from the Playdoh, I let Isaac cover his tree in glitter after painting. I think it's hilarious how both the paintbrush and glitter are blurred in these pictures...it shows how Isaac does everything with gusto! :)
We also made these hand print ornaments for the grandparents.
Lastly, what would a Tot School post be without our favorite books? I got most of these ideas from 1+1+1=1's website here, but also had several from teaching. Out of all of them, Isaac's favorites are Frosty the Snowman, Baby's Christmas, and The Night Before Christmas. I think he enjoys the last two so much because of the illustrations. And, as for Frosty the Snowman, he loves to sing along as best he can and knows a lot of the words~too fun!
