Concoctions Gone Wrong

Well, the cotton clay concoction was a bust.  It never dried and ended up in the trash can.  :(  Today we tried making gems with rock salt and glue and food coloring.  It didn't turn out at all like it said in the book!  We were so excited to have emeralds, but alas, this is what turned out.

She didn't mind.

We tried making a necklace.  Can anyone say MESS??

We resorted to the old standby... playdough.  We served up some mighty tasty playdough pizza today.  Gwen's had filet mignon on it. :)
