     We made the Mush!  We made the Monster Mush!  Don't most holiday things have a bad pun somewhere?  Now that we have gotten that out of the way lets make some monsters!

Need:
         Pipe Cleaners
         Googly Eyes
         What ever other junk you want to use
         Play Dough (recipe below)
Play Dough Recipe:
     Need: 
              2 cups of flour
              1 cup salt
              4 tsp cream of tarter
              4 tbs oil
              2 cups cold water
              coloring (green food dye)
              Good smell (if you want to use a spice to add the smell)

1. Mix dry ingredients
2. Add wet ingredients
3. Cook over medium-low heat stirring non stop until the dough holds together.  It will happen just keep stirring!  You will know when to stop.  You should be able to stick your hand in with little stickiness.
4. Knead a few times and let it cool
5. If you want to save it keep it in an air tight container.  It should last about one week in the refrigerator and three days out.   

Activity Time!

     This part of the activity is easy!  Take all of the materials that you have and put them out.  Let your child explore them how ever they want but have fun yourself!  Maybe show them some of these pictures first or just start building your own and see if they follow your lead.  This is about the process not the product!  If you do this please send me your pictures I would love to add them!
