Peanut Butter Play Dough

2 cups peanut butter

6 tablespoons honey

Dry milk

Cocoa powder (optional)

Edible decorations (chocolate chips, raisins, candy sprinkles, and colored sugar)

1. Mix the peanut butter and honey in a bowl, adding dry milk gradually until the mixture has the consistency of bread dough.

2. Add cocoa powder if you like.

3. Turn the dough onto wax paper and have your child shape the dough, decorate it with edible treats, and eat it!

Finger Gelatin Fun

3 packets unflavored gelatin

One 12-ounce can frozen juice concentrate, thawed

11/2 cups water

1. Mix the gelatin and the juice in a bowl. Bring the water to a boil in a medium saucepan.

2. Stir the gelatin/juice mixture into the boiling water until the gelatin dissolves.

3. Use the mixture in one of the following ways:

• Pour the mixture into a lightly greased shallow pan and refrigerate it until it sets (about 2 hours). Help your child cut the gelatin with cookie cutters, or use a knife.

• Pour the mixture into a lightly greased ice cube tray, small glasses, or other molds to create building blocks of various shapes and sizes. When the gelatin is set, have your child combine the shapes to create a wiggly building or sculpture.

If you don’t have gelatin on hand, you can make finger gelatin by combining 12 ounces of Jell-O mix with 21/2 cups boiling water.
