As we enter fall, the sunshine days of summer are soon to be forgotten. When left indoors with cold and rainy weather, it's important to keep yourself (and the kiddos, if you have them!) entertained without being sucked into the box 24/7.
Here are two simple ways to entertain with flour, yes I said it, flour!!
To make your own air-dry clay, mix the following:
* 1 cup water
* 3 cups flour
* 1 tsp vegetable
* couple drops of natural food coloring (or even crushed berries work!)
Mix well and now you have homemade clay! To store, keep moist, wrap clay in plastic wrap and place it in an air-tight container. Keep in the refrigerator and it will be ready for the next rainy day.
Next is a recipe for natural glue and yes, this may get messy!
To make this paste, mix 1 part flour to every 3 parts water. For example, if you use one-quarter cup of flour, you would add three-quarter cup of water. Boil mixture, stirring frequently until it creates a paste. Allow to cool and you are ready to make fabulous craft projects!
With two projects so easy and fun, rainy days will never bore you again!!
