Edible Snowflakes!

I saw this somewhere and changed it a little to try with Haillie (they deep fat fried them... I don't even know what that is). It is a fun snack for a winter day.

Uncooked tortillas
Melted butter
Cinnamon and Sugar mixture
Hot Griddle

Fold the uncooked in half, then fold in fourths. Use scissors to cut out designs, just like you would a paper snowflake. When finished unfold and place on hot griddle. Cook tortilla as instructed. After you take it off the griddle, paint butter on the snowflake a sprinkle cinnamon/sugar on. Enjoy!

Edible Playdough!

I started just laying out all the ingredients and the measuring cups and had Hai make it herself when she was about 4 (little did she know she was having a math lesson). She loved playing with it, even when it didn't turn out so great!

Ingredients:
1 c peanut butter
1 c corn syrup
1 1/4 c powdered sugar
1 1/4 c powdered milk

Mix all together. The consistency can vary... harder or softer (that is done by the amount of powdered milk). It works best when chilled for a couple hours before use (but we never do that).
I then let hai choose 3 or 4 kitchen utensils and cookie cutters and let her go at it!
