Bamboo Bike and First Concoction

Ben had his bike tuned up recently and when he went to pick up his bike the guy showed him the bamboo bikes he makes.  Interesting.  Ben loves bamboo... so you can imagine what he thought of this bike.
















Here we are making our first concoction from our concoction book.  Today it was Oatmeal Play Clay.  Tomorrow it is going to be shiny paint made from condensed milk and food coloring.  Gwen loves helping stir.  This is her attempt at a smile.


It was very easy to make and after she broke the biscuit cutter I had out we used it as a hat for our snowman.  She has a "snake" in her left hand.  She put the snake up to her face and made her snake "bite" her. :)

Oh, and this is how it is made:
1/2 C flour
1/2 C water
1 C oatmeal
mix it all up and then put on floured surface and knead for a few minutes.  If it is sticky add more flour.  You can add food coloring to make it colored, but we didn't.  We like our oatmeal natural at this house.
