Painting with mud!

One of the activities I am planning on doing when we are at the lake next week is to paint with mud! I found the idea in the Xplor Adventures in Nature magazine! If you live in Missouri it is free! Go to xplormo.org/node/2618

Make a Dirt Shirt: You will need a clean white shirt Vinegar and MUD!!!!


Find some thick mud, scoop it into a cup , and pour in vinegar until the mud feels like pudding. Use the mud to paint a design on your shirt. To make the design permanent, let the shirt sit in the sun for at least four hours, rinse the shirt in cold water, clean it in a washing machine, and run it through a hot dryer!



SO MUCH FUN!!! I can't wait to see what we create!! YAY MUD!

Puffy Paint!

I just found this recipe for puffy paint on Pinterest and I can't wait to try it!!  It seems super easy and it is edible so my little man can create as well!  YAY!!

puffy paint!


set aside one cup refined flour in a big bowl. Mixed three tea-spoons

baking powder and one tea-spoon salt. To this add enough water so as to get

a thick pouring consistency.




20 - 30 secs in the microwave after painting is done!

breakfast

Let me start off by saying I don't have any pictures to share since my little speed racer Gianna took off with my camera and dropped it!  RIP camera!

For breakfast this morning I needed to get a lot of the dishes done and do a wipe down of the kitchen; I have seen idea floating around pinterst about using pancakes and painting them with colored syrup or butter.  Well I love the thought of that but did not want to use butter or syrup for a variety of reasons.  So we colored applesauce as our paint!  She loved painting her pancake with the applesauce and in turn ate a huge breakfast!  YAY!!!  We will do this again and maybe by then I will have a new camera!  ;)
