2 in 1 activity: Making play dough
using a cookie mix.
Looking through the cupboard I discovered a cookie mix from Halloween that we hadn't used. I though this would be a fun way to make a new kind of edible play dough.
For 1st activity: (Play dough)
We used: 1 sugar cookie dough mix
1 cube of butter
water
1- Mix cookie dough mix and cube of butter.
2- Divide the mix into two, setting 1/2 half of the
mix into another bowl for later.
3- Add just enough water to make the the
right consistency for play dough.
4- Have lots of fun playing with the play dough and eating it.
2nd Activity: (Cookies)
Need:
1 egg
1- Take the remainder dough that was set aside and add egg and mix up.
2- Bake as per directions on package
3- Frost and enjoy.
With the Pillsbury mix we used we were able to bake 1 dozen cookies with the half of the dough that was saved from when we were making the play dough.

Their so cute, I wish the playdough we had would have been edible, it didn't stop me from eatin it of course. I guess that's better than the girl who sat next to me in my first grade class, who ate glue. Now they just need to come out with edible glue.
