Day 5 - Little hands

Shhhhhhhh....don't tell my husband. Jesse, if you're reading this, just skip this one.

Okay.

We made a craft for Father's Day. A genuine salt-dough handprint! The recipe is at http://www.babycenter.com/210_salt-dough-handprint_4367.bc

After the gym this morning, we headed out to the park with some friends, supplies, and a gritty determination. Okay, maybe not gritty. The first attempt at making the dough was a little too soupy. We added flour and then we had it. Rolled the dough out on wax paper and the kids pressed their sweet little hands in it.

We opted not to put the food coloring into the dough -- mostly because we forgot to put it in the dough. So, the plan is to let it dry and we will paint it tomorrow. I think it will make a great Father's Day present and was also a fun "first" for the summer.
