you can keep this play dough. Note: The shapes can then be placed on
crackers or bread slices, decorated with edibles (celery or carrot
slivers, raisins, dried fruit pieces, nuts, or seeds for a healthy
snack! then EAT!

CAUTION: Some children are allergic to peanut butter!!!!!
PEANUT BUTTER/GRAHAM CRACKER PLAY DOUGH
(I've listed this recipe so you can help your child experience their
senses)
Ingredients:
Equal amounts of Peanut Butter and Marshmallow Creme Graham Crackers

Directions:
1) Allow children to crumble up Graham Crackers into crumbs, then set
these aside. Let them have just a little touch of the Marshmallow
Creme and a little touch of peanut butter to feel the different
textures and to lick off their fingers. (washing hands before project
start is a good idea...)
2) Mix the peanut butter and Marshmallow Creme together and have the
children notice the change in texture.
3) Cover surface area with wax paper or use a breadboard, let children
make into shapes. 4) Roll shapes in Graham Cracker crumbs, then EAT!!!

Storage: When not using, MUST be stored in an airtight container.

PEANUT BUTTER PLAY DOUGH
Ingredients:
One 18-oz jar creamy peanut butter
6 tablespoons honey
3/4 cup non-fat dry milk

milk for desired consistencies. Knead it with fingers, forming into
desired shapes, adding other foods like M&M's or peanuts for eyes,
mouths, etc. Great fun! (Thanks to Lisa M.H.))

GIRL SCOUNT PEANUT BUTTER PLAY DOUGH

temperature for pliable dough.

And now a couple of chocolate recipes that will require adult
supervision for the smaller children -- otherwise they may have some
tummy aches from over-eating their art supplies. The following two
yummy recipes are great because while the kids are having fun, Mommy
is making things to use for cake decorations. These doughs are easy to
make worms, letters, flowers, shapes or whatever the children or Mommy
can create in their imaginations.

CHOCOLATE PLAY DOUGH
Ingredients:
8 ounces semisweet chocolate
1/4 cup plus one tablespoon light corn syrup

Directions: Melt the chocolate in a metal bowl set over a pan of
simmering water (a double boiler). Stir the chocolate with a spoon
until smooth, then stir in the corn syrup. The chocolate will stiffen
almost immediately but stir until completely combined. Transfer the
chocolate to a sturdy plastic bag and refrigerate until firm; the
consistency will be that of Play Dough. When firm, the dough can be
worked by kneading. If it is too hard, cut off small pieces and knead
until pliable. If the dough sticks to the counter when rolling,
lightly spray counter or breadboard with vegetable spray or lightly
grease with a vegetable oil.
1) Hand shape the dough into a rope or braid, making two or three long
ropes and twist or braid them together -- can be used as the outside
edge on top of the cake or around the base.
2) Make ribbons to cover the cake. To do this, pat your dough into a
disk shape and roll dough out to desired thickness using a rolling pin
or else use a manual pasta machine.
3) Flowers, too! Compliments of www.joyofbaking. com

CHOCOLATE CLAY
Ingredients:
10 ounces chocolate, almond bard or candy discs
1/3 cup corn syrup

Directions: Slowly melt candy and stir until smooth. Add syrup and
blend thoroughly. Pour onto waxed paper and spread with fingers until
about 1/2 inch thick. Cover loosely with waxed paper and allow it to
stiffen (couple of hours). Then play and eat. To make flower petals,
roll out little balls and flatten them, then pinch the petals together
and these make wonderful "I Love You" gifts, even if it isn't
Valentine's Day. Compliments of Kim Swanger
