Focaccia

Focaccia is soooo fun to make esp with kids. I love getting my kids involved in cooking. The younger you get them cooking, the more love they have for it and want to do it. I started my son off at 4 years old.. today he LOVES to cook. I did not do the same with my daughter and she is really not into cooking. So, I decided any children we have going forward, their little butts will be cooking. Anytime my nieces or nephews are over, we cook together (bread, pizza, biscuits, whatever).  You Will Need: 4 Cups Bread Flour (King Arthur) 2 tsp Salt 1 tsp Sugar (honey or agava)  1.5 tsp Yeast 1 tbsp Oil (olive or avocado) 1 3/4 Cups Warm Water  Bake at 445 degrees 10-12 minutes

Play Dough















Play dough is super fun activity for children to develop their fine motor skills and come on lets be completely honest here, we all love play dough regardless of our age; I know I do! I always loved the store bought stuff, and I am not going to like the smell is amazing! But I hated the idea that the kids could get sick if they ate any by mistake or even the dogs if the kids dropped any. I have stuck to making homemade dough since Kris was 2 years old and understood not to eat it, but if he did by mistake I could not really freak out about it. I planned to show you more than one play dough recipe and will be sure to have a section laid out just for the different play doughs I have planned here. I know Kris and Kai are extremely excited and happy about all the play dough they will be able to play with. Now, these are amazing for stocking stuffers, just pick up some cheap small air tight containers, follow along with the recipe and your children will be super excited opening their stocking this Christmas!
You Will Need:
Small Air-Tight Container
Food Coloring
1 Cup All-Purpose Flour
1 Cup Water
1/4 Cup Salt
1 tbsp  Oil
2 tsp Cream of Tartar
Wooden Spoon
Saucepan
