Saturday Morning Sous Chef

On Saturday morning Landon was wandering around the house looking for something to keep him busy. He stumbled across his cute little apron given to us by a friend of my Mom's. He insisted that I put it on him and then, on his own, got his stool from the bathroom and placed it in front of the stove. He stood on top of it and proclaimed, "Landon cookin'!" It was so cute that I had to stop what I was doing and find a little cooking project for him. I quickly found an easy playdough recipe online and he got to work.

Every now and then he got distracted by the Veggie Tales show on TV.

Don't forget to clean up!

Playdough Recipe

1/4 cup salt

1 cup flour

1/4 cup water

Mix salt and flour in a bowl. Mix in the water. I ended up having to add a little bit more water as we stirred. Choose a food color and knead it into the dough. Keep it in a sandwich bag to maintain moisture. Add a little water to it if it begins to dry out. I also read that you can add flavored koolaid for fun scents or glitter to make it shimmery! There are many recipes for playdough online but this one used the least amount of ingredients and didn't require the stove. I thought it turned out great and Landon really enjoyed "cooking"!
