Dog Biscuit Recipe

Dog Biscuits

Recipe for Dog Biscuits

You will need:

2 c. whole wheat flour

1 Tbsp. baking powder

1 c. peanut butter

1 c. milk

The kids had fun making these for their dogs!

Dinosaur Eggs

Recipe for Dinosaur Eggs

You will need:

1 1/2 c. flour

1 c. dried coffee grounds

1/2 c. salt

1 1/2 c. water

1/4 cup sand

Mix ingredients in a bowl.  I got this recipe from the book Alphabet Fun For Little Ones.  It's really not a good recipe.  When you mix the ingredients together it's really sticky not doughy.  So I slowly added more equal amounts of dry ingredients until it was a playdough consistency.  Then the kids made the egg shape and hid their dinosaur inside.  It takes days for these to dry.  YES, days!  When they dry, the kids should be able to "dig" the dinosaurs out using little tools of some sort.  I thought putting them in the oven on a low temp. for awhile would help dry them out faster, but it baked them, so the kids couldn't dig the dinosaurs out because they were baked in.  BUMMER!  But I just thought I would let everyone else know!  Cute project,when it's done right!

Happy Babies!

I highly recommend this game!  The kids love it, AND it's a good workout!

Playing the Wii

 Baby Lane is VERY proud of herself!  She has been trying for weeks to climb in the toy basket all by herself and she finally did it!

Baby Rylee chillin' in her bed!  She even had her little bare feet crossed!

Ice Cube Painting

 Put paint in an ice cube tray.  Cover it with foil and then poke popsicle sticks in each cube space.  Let freeze for 24 hours.  Make sure to take them out of the freezer about 5 minutes before the kids use them.

Slime

 

This stuff is so cool!  It melts in your hands, but it also feels hard to the touch!  GREAT for sensory!

Recipe for Slime:

1 16oz. box of cornstarch
1 1/2 cups water
food coloring

In a large bowl put in cornstarch.  I add the coloring to the water and then dump it in.  You have to knead it to get it to mix together.  It has such a weird texture, but the kids love it!
