Fun with the kids

 Its raining....everyone is bored. All books have been read, and all games have been beat. It is time to get creative and have fun doing it! My girls told me about this recipe for flarp....yes flarp. We sat and tried time after time using different amounts of the ingredients and after a few...well I wont say HOW many tries but we got it. What a fun little substance to play with, a cross between silly puddy and slime. So here is the recipe if anyone wants to get creative with their kiddos.  Til next time, I am always a click away!
