Today Justin  made clay in Art Class.
You will Need:
*3/4 cup of white Elmer's glue
*1 cup cornstarch
*2 tablespoons of baby oil
*1 tablespoons of lemon juice
*non-stick pan
*wooden spoon

*Add cornstarch to glue in a non-stick pan pot. It will be a little hard to clean afterwards so let it soak for 5-10 minutes. Mix together and then add baby oil and lemon juice. Blend well on low heat until you get a mixture that resembles mashed potatoes.

* Remove from heat once it's all mix together.

Squirt some baby oil on your clay be careful when you touch it. It will be very hot.

craft day

What we started with.

Today I thought it would be fun to make a flag. The boys and I took some fabric that we bought from Micheal's craft store. We painted our hands and feet to imprint on the fabric. Once it drys I will sew then add a flag pole. I'm thinking about it becoming our family Olympics flag.



This part was the most fun while I was running away as the paint was being toss around the craft room. Thank god it is washable paint. I think my hubby would have killed me since he just painted it two months ago. His reaction would have been"Really Patty?" Those are his favorite words when he has to fix something we broke. He fixes it with a smile.

Our finished product.
