Doh! (Play, that is.)

Last night for Family Home Evening, Jason thought it would be a great idea to make some homemade play dough.
As you can see, Sam thought it was a great idea too.

Here are a couple of scenes of the snake vs. the bear.


The snake won.


If you want to make your own snakes and bears, here's how to do it:

Play dough:
2 C flour
1 C salt
2 Tb cream of tartar
2 C water
2 Tb baby oil
liquid food coloring

Combine dry ingredients. Add water and oil. Stir well. Microwave on high 4 - 5 minutes. Stir again. Microwave another minute. Stir. Continue to microwave one minute, then stir, until dough is the consistency of mashed potatoes. Cool it enough to touch. Knead in food coloring until dough is desired color. Store dough in air tight container or a zip-lock bag.
