I lost the link where this came from, but I found this Playdoh recipe in a forum comment somewhere, and it’s great:
3 cups flour
1/3 cup salt
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 cup water
7 drops food coloringMix dry ingredients with oil. Add food coloring to water and mix together. Add water to flour/salt/oil mixture slowly, about 1/4 cup at a time and mix together with a spoon. Once you’ve added all the water, knead the dough with your hands.
My kids will love some of these. Top 10 quirky science tricks for Christmas parties:
We’ve done the candle one before, use a candle snuffer. You can get a good six-inch jump if there’s no turbulence and you get a nice smooth stream of smoke off the extinguished candle.
Here’s a project I can handle: the Speed Demon. It’s basically a rolling kite you can make out of a single paper plate. Next windy day I’ll give it a go with the girls. Oo, maybe a round cardboard pizza insert instead of a paper plate…
The Big Picture has a nice collection of Easter shots. I really like the eggs in the first two pictures. While we’re on the subject of Easter, Amelia had a stroke of genius this year, suggesting we do the egg hunt in the dark, kids armed with flashlights. It’s at least twice as much fun as a daytime hunt, and even eggs in plain sight can take awhile to find. Give it try next year.
YouTube: Charlie Bit my Finger! I love the play of emotions across big brother's face. Probably a little bit of rebellion against our masters coming into play.
I'm Jim Biancolo, and this is my weblog. It's mostly links to stuff I find interesting (here are some of my favorites), but some stuff is mine. I also created Listology in the previous millennium (raised it from a pup but I stopped playing with it and I felt bad so I gave it away to a good home), and the fitness weblog Lean & Hungry Fitness, which is gone, subsumed, but it was a cool domain while it lasted.
If I don't post often enough for you, you can check my delicious account for the only slightly less good also-rans.
