How to Keep Your Little Ones Quiet During Conference


It's called Aroma Dough and it's super easy to make. Here is the Recipe:


AROMA PLAY DOUGH


1 cup flour

1 cup water

1/2 cup salt

1 T. oil

1 T. cream of tarter

1 envelope unsweetened Kool-Aid mix


Mix ingredients in pan over medium heat, stirring constantly until dough forms ball and doesn't feel sticky. Dump onto counter top and knead for 1 minute.
The kids LOVED this. Plus it smells good too! We did Orange, Tropical Punch, Cherry, and Lemonade. Yum! Although, watch them carefully because even though it smells good, it tastes horrible! Brooke found that out the hard way.

Also, making fruit loop necklaces works too. Anything that keeps those little minds and fingers busy so that they're not fighting and yelling does the trick. While they're working on their projects you get to be spiritually fed in silence! That is until they start fighting over the fruit loops.
