School of Dentistry - Class of 2033



Okay, that may be a long shot...but it sure made me giggle.

My kiddos were looking for something to do this morning at an unearthly hour (before 8 am) so I had to pull out all my stops as it was gonna be a long day, if I wasn't on my game plan!

I made fresh playdough for them. It just so happened that I ran out of food colouring as well as Kool-aid(which can also be used for colour) so the playdough was white. Try to imagine the faces of these kids cuz they couldn't pick their favorite colours for it. It's amazing what is important in a child's eyes...colour of play dough is one of them!

After going thru our playdough toys, I found this dental mouth and dentistry tools. This is the colour of welcomed white playdough!!! I hit the jackpot! So watch out Dr. Mark...let me introduce you to your proteges!!!

Here's the recipe if y'all are interested:

Playdough

3 cups flour
6 tbsp cream of tartar
3/4 cup salt
3 cups water
5 tbsp oil
6 tsp food colouring
Add wet to dry ingredients. Cook in saucepan on medium heat, stirring constantly until playdough forms into a ball. Keep cooking until all moisture is gone. Remove & knead till smooth. Let cool on waxed paper. Store in a airtight container in the fridge.
