I always knew I wanted to be a teacher & being a parent gave me the platform to be the most influential teacher to the most important students in my life. So, how does a former teacher turn mom keep the teacher spark alive? She creates, makes messes, survives a daily grind & tries to sneak in educational moments for the little ones. Sometimes it works & sometimes it doesn't, but just adding hugs & kisses makes everything better.

Homemade Playdough
We ventured in making our own playdough today. I let the kids help me measure out the ingredients. We added mint extract to change it up. This was a lot of fun and I can't wait to make more and more for the kids. I strongly suggest making a double or triple batch!!
**I have updated to a new and improved recipe**
Playdough Recipe
1 Cup of Flour
1 Cup of Water
1 Tbs. Cream of Tartar
1 Tbs. Oil
1/2 cup salt
*Optional- Food Coloring & Extract oils for scent
Directions:
Combine all ingredients and put in a pot over low heat for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and forms a ball. If you are adding oil, do so after you take it out of the pot and knead it for a few minutes. Let it cool and store in an airtight container.
