Use exact measurments and you can be sure of perfect playdough everytime!
- 2 1/2 cups white flour
- 1/2 cup salt
- 3 tbs vegetable oil
- 2 cups boiling water
- Package of Kool-Aid
In a bowl mix the flour, salt and kool-aid.

Finally spring is here the days are longer and the weather is warmer all you can think of is to get outside. What better spring craft to make than a kite?
You will Need:
8.5x 11 sheet of bright paper
ruler
pencil
masking or clear tape
wire snips
skewer (like for kebabs)
neon surveyors tape
hole punch
10 ft or more of string
small piece of card board
1. Fold the sheet of paper in half widthwise. Use a ruler and pencil to measure and draw a diagonal line, as indicated.

2. Place the ruler against the line and crease the paper along it.
3. Fold back the top layer of paper and tape along the fold line. Trim any excess tape.
4. Using wire snips, trim the bamboo skewer to 8 inches in length. Position the skewer as a brace across the top back of the kite and firmly tape it down.
5. Cut a 6-foot kite tail from the surveyor’s tape. Tape it to the rear edge of the kite. Next, flip the kite over and fold the flap (to which you’ll tie the string) back and forth until it stands straight up.
6. Fold a small piece of tape over the edge of the flap about 3 inches from the top. Punch a hole through the tape 1/4 inch in from the folded edge. Tie one end of the string through the hole.
7. To make a string winder, tie the other end of the string around the middle of the cardboard, securing it with a strip of tape. Wind on the rest of the string, and you’re ready to fly!

Essential oils are highly concentrated and potent oils extracted from plants, leaves, flowers, roots, buds, twigs, rhizomes, heartwood, bark, resin, seeds and fruits. Most should not be applied directly to the skin. But once diluted in either water or what is known as a carrier oil they create a wonderful arsenal of natural healing tools.
Some safety notes first:
