I'm a homeschool mom of 3 daughters. My aim in life is to glorify God by loving and serving my family, grow personally in my walk with Him, and being a Titus 2 woman to those younger than me. This blog is to share what God is doing in my life and in the life of our homeschool.
Princess is 9 years old . She was born a princess and continues to hold the title. She loves all things girlie and is talented in all things crafty.
Pixie is 7 and a half. She has a passion for truth, loves rocks and shells and has a huge collection of them.
Peanut is 5. She is fun loving, happy all the time and can make anybody laugh.
I read an article in the No Greater Joy magazine by the Pearls. Rebekah Anast wrote it on choosing curriculum. She suggests learning how your child learns best and then choosing a curriculum based on that information. As she spoke about the child who learns by touch I realized that this describes my third child completely. She had a wonderful recipe for the hands on child that I will share. I made it this morning for my dd4 and she wiggled in anticipation for it to be completed and had a blast getting all gooey and sticky.
Peanut butter Playdough 1/3 part peanut butter 1/3 part dry powdered milk (I actually used more, our peanut butter was really wet) 1/3 part honey Mix together and knead until dough sticks together. Refridgerate left overs in an airtight container for a week or more. Use decorations such as chocolate chips, raisins, cheerio's, M&M's, etc.
We just made this the other day! Tank still asks if there is any of that peanut-butter-dessert left. :-) I had to add a lot more of the powdered milk to keep it from being sticky...but it is warm and humid here in Houston, so maybe that was why.
That's one of our favorites! We roll really long snakes and shape them into letters. I got the same exact recipe from a Mr. Rogers Neighborhood show several years back. I'm amazed at how creative the dc can be with this stuff
