It's Foamy

G and I had a craft day this weekend. It's too hot to go outside for extended periods of time, and we can't live in the pool. Ok, I guess we could, but I get a little wrinkly after several hours and need a break. :)

We made homemade playdough with Kool-Aid and the normal ingredients like flour, salt, cream of tarter, etc. Let's say that even though all of the ingredients are edible, DON'T eat it. It has so much salt that it burned our tongues...blech. Hee hee.

We also made foam snakes. I saw this in a kid's magazine and I was itching to try it since I could make it without a trip to the store. It's a plastic water bottle with the bottom cut off, an old towel cut into a square, a rubberband, and that's all you need! You wet the towel and then dip the whole contraption into a plate of dishsoap (I even mixed it with a little water as I was running low on the soap.) It works just as described and shown in the magazine. Fantastic. G got upset because the wind kept blowing the snake off of the bottle, but we were entertained.
