Working on Painting Kits for you guys! Hopefully they will be up very soon. These are pick up only. I’ll let you know when they are ready... but for right now I have to go look at cows.

We made salt dough... but not regular salt dough. We made it gluten free by substituting cornstarch for regular flour. We mixed 1 cup of salt, 1 cup of cornstarch and 3/4 cup of water in a saucepan on the stove over low heat (We have a gas stove) and stirred it till it turned into a big blob. (It is actually a little hard to stir by then end... and don’t walk away like I did :) I dumped the blob on to parchment paper and let it cool off... when it cooled down I started to knead it. You can used some corn starch to “flour your surface” we didn’t have any issues at all with stickiness or the dough cracking or breaking. This recipe works better than the baking soda one I usually use with the little kids... We used little rolling pins to get it pretty thin. Then we used lots of fun cookie cutter to make Spring/ Eastery shapes. I immediately put the parchment paper covered cookie sheet covered in cut out clay into the preheated toaster. After 1 hour I flipped them. After 2 hours I took out the small ones. I left the big ones in for almost 3 hours! Next we let them cool. Then we painted them with acrylic paint and covered them in lots of acrylic glitter paint. We will also varnish them and hang them out ribbons before we finish!

Sooooo we came up with the best activity ever! My 3 year old and I watched an old episode of Bob Ross and we followed along and painted a happy picture. I told her all about how when I was a little older than she is now... I used to stay home from school and watch Bob Ross and try to get my watercolors to do what his oils did! Somewhere there is a framed happy little tree painting of mine from when I was little. She has the Children’s book... Bob Ross and Peapod the Squirrel....she did her best to find a Peapod squirrel in our house.

While we try to stay busy.... here are some memories from 2015 at The Golden Button!

How is everyone! What are you working on? Does anyone have any great plans for what they are making next? We collected some little things for a nature still life and I’m currently painting a bunny and carrots and my neighbors beautiful horses! I’m planning up a few creative things to do in the next few days and even weeks. Other fun things we are doing lately... planting some seeds and making apple fritters and chili.

Hi everyone! We are missing all our friends today but enjoying the time we have together with our family. We have been making a ton of puzzles and art projects and spending as much time outside as possible. If you are having a hard time staying sane and keeping the little ones busy...make play-dough. We have been playing with it for over a hour. (Ours is gluten free and paleo.... because it was expired in our cabinet...Hahahah) Working on a better recipe because this one wasn’t great... it’s a little sticky probably from lack of grains. But it’s soooooo fun. Hope you guys are having a good day!
