The other week I tried out my mini-donut pan for the first time! The are baked, not fried and very yummy. I will be trying some pumpkin spice ones soon, but you can check out the regular recipe I used here. I used a simple cinnamon and sugar mix for the coating - yum!
Today we made Cloud Dough - to play in, not eat. We used about 8 cups of flour and 1 1/4 cup vegetable oil. You can use baby oil as I have done in the past but with Nikkels I thought the veggie oil would be better.
It was such a lovely day we decided to do this outside on the driveway so we wouldn't have to be worried about making a mess.
And that's a good thing since my tarp I put down under the kids turned out to be pointless, the navy blue shorts Nikkels was wearing eventually looked gray....
And this is what the dog looks like after licking/snorting loads of flour - I think he's in the middle of a sneeze here.
They had loads of fun...they made tire tracks, snow mounds, hand/foot prints. We got out the little toy kitchen and they had fun pretending to make food at their restaurant...the possibilities are endless. If you aren't afraid of a little mess...this is a must with little people.
