We made play~dough it is pretty simple and fun and Tommy thought it was amazing that we could  just make it at home and I just thought id share it with all you wonderful mommys :)
1 cup flour
1 cup warm water
1/2 of salt
2 tablespoons veg oil
1 tablespoon crean of tartar
(optional for improved elasticity) but I didnt use this time
then you mix all the ingredients together and then stir over a low heat it will start to thicken

Paper clip fun!

So one thing I like to do with both my kids is link together colored paper clips
Tommy likes to make me necklaces and braceletes today he even made one for his little sister:) so cute.
How I use them for learning
I have Tommy count each one he links on
then till me each color and some times I have him add some and take some away
(math skills)
I think there Great for izzy because it totally helps with her motor skills
and of course she loves the fact that she can do what her big bro can lol:)
