*Blue Bus did not come today! It’s been rescheduled for Friday morning.

How do you create sensorially comforting science experiments?

1) In a saucepan, combine 5c water, 2 1/2 c salt, 3T cream of tarter and 3T food coloring.

2) Cook on low heat.

3) As it cooks, slowly stir in 10T of cooking oil and 5c of flour. Add your favorite food coloring, and holiday spices (we used Apple Pie Allspice)

4) Cook and stir until no longer sticky.

5) Plop onto a baking sheet and knead like bread. (Careful! It’s hot!)

6) Let cool sufficiently, but serve it up warm.

7) Sing a soft homemade lullaby, or play a tune as your Wee Friend kneads the warm Play-Do, breathes in the aroma of the Play –Do and S-L-O-W-S      D-O-W-N……..

 

Breathe. In through your nose. Out through your mouth. And Let It Be. Let It Be. Let It Be. Let It Be.
