    It warms my heart to see your boys being boys and not sitting with an electronic device or watching tv. When our son and daughter were their age we were stationed in the Fairbanks AK area. They and 5 or 6 of their neighbor friends decided to build a fort. It ended up being 6 rooms. They spent hours after school working on it over the winter. Lots of layers of clothes. Moon boots, hats, and gloves. And lots of hot chocolate and fresh out of the oven cookies. Making memories. They are in their 40’s now and still talk about it like it was yesterday. The temperatures ranged from negative 30-50. It was dry and we learned to adapt. Some of the best years of our life. Thank you so much for sharing your real life experiences with us! I anxiously await every Saturday morning to see your videos! Blessings from Ky!

    What fun memories this brings back! I have five beautiful adopted children of many different races. To get dinner prepared or do baking, I would line them up and they were chef 1, chef 2, chef 3, etc. They would take their turn in line, and measure and put in ingredients. I couldn’t believe how much they loved that. They learn so much by helping.

    So much fun to watch the scientists make play dough. I have a funny story to share. I used to make 5 gallon buckets of playdogh mix. (just the dry part) my recipe included alum and cornstarch along with the salt and flour. One day I was sick and my husband decided to make waffles, well he dipped out of the play dough bucket instead of the flour one. The children came in and told me the waffles were really bad, and I told them to eat them anyway and don't complain, but they came back and said they just couldn't so I went and checked the buckets and sure enough he had used the play dough mix. The waffles were renamed awfuls . I'm a Great Grandmother now and we still laugh over this.

      I'm wondering if maybe initially he said he didn't want to play scientist. We all know that school kids love to tease sometimes, and perhaps he was afraid of what his friends would say about him making play dough. This is, of course, all speculation.

    As a camp teacher we made our own Play-Doh. Since cream of tartar is expensive, we made ours without it. We also didn't cook it. We used warm tap water. Kept it at room temperature in ziplock bags. We probably made a batch a week. Never received any complaints. Your mad scientists' next experiments might be one make a batch with and one without cream of tarter. Let it rest in the ziplocks as they clean up and then see if they like the texture without cooking.

    This brought back so many memories. Many years ago when my sons were Harrison and Kendrick's ages, we did the same thing. I had four boys and a big table like yours we used as a work space. The recipe I used was cooked in a saucepan on the stove and the result was a non-drying mixture. The recipe was similar yours except I think there was more oil. It stayed nice in cartons for a long time. You are such a good mom.

Cinnamon was always added to the brown, so I put less flour in it. If kept in plastic containers it last for a long time. I enjoyed watching your boys making and playing with it.
