      <image:title>Blog - Making Playdough</image:title>
      <image:caption>Few activities are as satisfying as making playdough from scratch and then kneading, squishing, pounding, stretching, and shaping the dough.  There are so many recipes for making doughs!  This one is by far my favorite when you want to involve children in the process.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The special ingredient is Kool-Aid powder.  The Kool-Aid adds a scent and, depending on the flavor you choose, it provides the color.  Lemonade flavor makes an off-white dough when used by itself or works well with added color of your choice.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Once the glue is on the strip, form the strip into a loop bringing the sticky side over the other end and firmly pressing the tape or glue into place.  Make sure the ends overlap forming a loop—not a teardrop! When using liquid glue, I suggest holding the ends in place while counting slowly to 10, or even 20, to make sure the glue adheres.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>1.  Take one strip and form it into a circle.  Secure the ends using gluestick, glue, tape, or staple.  2. Once you have the first loop formed, take another strip and thread it through the first loop before forming it into a loop.</image:caption>
