It's really rainy and gross here and I WILL NOT let my children outside today because all of the mud in my house has been making me CRAZY. So I decided to pull out The Ultimate Book of Kid Concoctions, which I bought a couple of weeks ago for rainy days. We are on our THIRD recipe and I *think* this one finally worked.
The failures were rock salt gem "goop" (it never gooped enough to be shaped into anything?) and jiggley finger paints, made with sugar free jello (it congealed into a blob of what looked like organ meat
).
Our final choice was craft clay with baking soda, corn starch and water. I figured you can't go wrong with that, but GRRR...my kids were itching to do the other things that I'm really annoyed that they didn't work. What good is a book like this if the recipes aren't going to work?
