Who lives in a house like this?

We didn't actually broach that question!  but 4yo shaped my nice squared house plus window and added stars and a door handle.  I made a roof and added a bird.  She added a bird's nest and a worm  - 'brought up by the bird' when I pointed out that worms are not generally found on rooftops!  Silly me!  And then she added smoke from the chimney and a roof to the nest!!  A collaborative work today while 7yo and Granddad did I'm not quite sure what!  The pair of us really enjoyed our time with playdough!

Playdough
1cup flour
2 teasp Cream of tartar
1/3 cup salt
1 cup of water+colouring
1tblsp vegetable oil

Mix in saucepan and cook till thick - it's hard work at the end!
turn out onto a board and knead a bit. (don't let the children do this as it's hot!) It keeps very well in the fridge in a plastic container.  Also pretty good for making ornaments etc. if left to dry in a warm room.  Can be painted.  Wash hands after use as the salt can dry the skin.
Have fun!!
