FOOLPROOF PLAY DOUGH
Here's yet another kool-aid variation my students ( and my own big kids at home) love. Try using it while still warm too.
2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup salt
1 Tbsp. alum (in spice display at grocery store)
2 pkg. unsweetened Kool-Aid or other brand
3 Tbsp. cooking oil
2 cups boiling water
Mix dry ingredients well. Add oil and water. Stir quickly, mixing
well. Knead with hands when cool enough to handle. Store in air-tight containers.

God is really only another artist. He invented the giraffe, the elephant and the cat. He has no real style, He just goes on trying other things.

Non-toxic, citrus oil based solvents are now available commercially under several brand names. Citra-Solve is one brand. This works well for cleaning brushes of oil-based paints. Paint brushes and rollers used for an on-going project can be saved overnight, or even up to a week, without cleaning at all. Simply wrap the brush or roller snugly in a plastic bag, such as a used bread or produce bag. Squeeze out air pockets and store away from light. The paint won't dry because air can't get to it. Simply unwrap the brush or roller the next day and continue with the job. Fresh paint odors can be reduced by placing a small dish of white vinegar in the room.
