  • How about pasta necklaces? We paint macaroni and thread it through wool. It passes an hour or so and is good for hand eye co-ordination too.

    playdough recipe i use -

    2 cups flour
    1 cup salt
    1 tablespoon oil
    1 teaspoon cream of tartar
    1or2 cups of water (justadd enough til its the right consistency)
    food colouring/nything smelly to make it interesting

    cook it in a large pan over a meduim heat - you'll know when its done. leave to cool

    i second the cornflour (oobleck) generally i mix 1 part water with 2 parts cornflour. add glitter/food colouring to it as well. great thing is if it starts to go hard you can just keep adding water to it.

    Just used this recipe to make 2 batches, and could get quite obsessed about making it! How much fun!? And it makes loooooooads thank you
