Wanted: Play-Doh Makers

We are going to be making some 3-D landform maps next week and will need mass quantities of home-made Play-Doh. If you could whip up a batch for us, we'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks in advance for your help with our project!

Here's the recipe:
You will need to double this or make two batches. Do NOT add any coloring to the dough.

Ingredients:
1-cup flour
1-cup water
½ cup salt
2 teaspoons cream of tartar (this is found in the spice section)
1 Tablespoon vegetable oil

Directions:
In a heavy aluminum pan, mix dry ingredients. Add oil and water. STIRRING CONSTANTLY, cook 3 minutes or until mixture pulls away from the sides of the pan (medium heat). Immediately knead warm mixture on floured surface. (If it is sticky, add a little more flour and knead some more). When completely cool, store in a plastic storage bag and bring to school. Your kiddo’s teacher will be smiling BIG time! Thank you so much for your help with this project!

Early Release on Wednesday, 9/16

Just a reminder that we will dismiss early on Wednesday, 9/16 at 12:45. Our lunch, specials, and library schedules will also be affected with lunch from 10:05 - 10:35. Just wanted to let you know in case you were planning to join your kiddo for lunch on Wednesday.
