Focaccia Pizza

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  Toppings: Rao Pizza Sauce Sausage Links, cooked and cut Applegate Pepperoni Green Bell Pepper Mushrooms Olives Onions, Sautéed  Pizza-part bake at 445 degrees 10-12 minutes

Olaf Perler Beads




















Olaf is one of the characters from the top selling movie Frozen. Kristopher loves Olaf (Kailee obviously loves Elsa and Anna more). One tip I do have with these beads, and they apply to any pattern... Do NOT mix the beads unless you buy them that way. Mixing the beads takes 10 times longer to find the correct color and honestly it hurts the neck after a while- but if you buy them that way you can either separate them (which is a pain in the a$$) or you can leave them alone like I do.
Materials:
Iron
Peg Board
Wax Paper
White Perler Beads
Light Blue Perler Beads
Orange Perler Beads
Black Perler Beads
Pink Perler Beads
Magnets
Embroidery Floss
I hope you and your children enjoy this fun craft! It is super easy! My children love making stuff with perler beads (they are not super expansive (just be sure you have a coupon) and a lot goes along way). I have had my perler beads for 4 or 5 years now and does not seem like I have made a dent in the beads. In fact, I just got another 22,000 (YES I KNOW! OMGG!) beads and I am sure they will last a very long time!
