ingredients: Flour, Salt, Food Coloring, vegetable oil and Cream of Tartar\n\nIn a two quart saucepan add 1 cup of flour, 4 teaspoons of cream of tartar and 1 cup of salt. Mix dry ingredients together. Measure 2 cups of water (with two drops of the liquid food coloring of your choice added) Drop in two tablespoons of vegetable oil and stir to mix. Add the liquids slowly to the dry ingredients in the saucepan and stir till combined. Heat over medium heat stirring often until the dough begins to form,starts to pull away from the side of the pan, and becomes a bit dry. Remove from heat and place on counter or board. Knead until smooth and cool. Keep cooled dough in plastic containers or plastic bags to keep soft and "playable"

Egg-shaped Rice Krispie treats.  Mix a little fruity pebbles in them for color, and use colored marshmellows.  roll them into an egg shape, and wrap them in colored plastic wrap.  It worked wonders on my daughters class!

You know what? I just realized that this is in the math section...\nanyway, easiest way to make cookies is to buy the cookie dough, roll 'em up into little balls, and then place on  cookie sheet, about 2" apart..... hard way, is starting from scratch..so here's a sugar cookie recipe...\n\nhttp://www.elise.com/recipes/archives/001647sugar_cookies.php\n\nGood Luck!

Go out and photograph the snowy scenes.  Help an neighbor shovel.  Invite a friend in to have cocoa and visit...a fireplace makes this very nice.  Or go out and play, play, play...build a snowman or snow "family", sled, have a (nice) snowball fight.  Find a stream, make snowballs, toss them in and watch the effect, big, small, put a twig in one, put a leaf in one, etc.

Ingredients:\nWater \nFlour (one part flour to one part water) \nStrips of Newspaper, about 1 inch wide \nchicken wire (form into the shape of a volcano, this will be the base and hold the papermache in place while it is drying)\nDirections:\nMix flour and water in a large bowl (2 cups of each is a good amount with which to start) until it makes a smooth paste. Dip in the newspaper strips, one at a time, remove the excess paste from your fingers and lay the coated newspaper on the form to be papier mâchèd. Smooth out the wrinkles and continue to place coated newspaper over the surface until completely covered. When the surface has totally dried, paint your own design using acrylic or poster paint.

MMM, my family would make icecream when I was a kid. Just go get a recipe off of the net. Unless you want to sit and stir your icecream by hand for 30 minutes I would suggest you invest in an icecream maker. It will come with instructions and recipes. Ive even seen them at the goodwill and salvation army. When Old people pass away the people getting rid of their stuff either dont know what it is or have no intentions of making icecream when they can just spend $1.50 and go to dairy queen. It made sence to make icecream when I was a kid because we had chickens, milkcows and all we had to buy was sugar and rocksalt.\n\n2 cups heavy cream\n1 cup whole milk\n3/4 cup sugar\n1/8 teaspoon salt\n3 vanilla beans, split lengthwise \n2 large eggs\nSpecial equipment: an instant-read thermometer \n\n\n\n\n\nCombine cream, milk, sugar, and salt in a heavy saucepan. Scrape seeds from vanilla beans with tip of a knife into cream mixture, then drop in pods. Heat cream mixture just to a boil. \n\nWhisk eggs in a large bowl, then add hot cream mixture in a slow stream, whisking. Pour mixture into saucepan and cook over moderately low heat, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened and registers 170°F on thermometer (do not let boil). \n\nPour custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean metal bowl, then cool, stirring occasionally. Chill, covered, until cold, at least 3 hours. \n\nFreeze custard in an ice cream maker. Transfer to an airtight container and put in freezer. \n\nCooks' notes:\n• To cool custard quickly after straining, set bowl in a larger bowl of ice and cold water and stir until chilled. \n• Custard can be chilled up to 24 hours.\n\nMakes about 1 1/2 qt.

There are several ways (even if they are in essence the same) for constructing the snowflake. So I first choose one and I'll tell you the formula you want.\n\nLook, I'm thinking in the snowflake as the limit of the following iteration: Take an equilateral triangle of side m,\ntake the 2 points which divide each side of the triangle in three parts, construct an equilateral triangle with base the middle part of the side, and erase the middle part of the side. With the figure obtained, do the same with the sides: take the 2 points which divide each side of the FIGURE in three parts, construct an equilateral triangle with base the middle part of the side, and erase the middle part of the side. And so on...\n\nDefine P_n as the perimeter of the figure obtained in the n-iteration (P_0 is just the perimeter of the equilateral triangle of side of length m).\n\nIt's easy to check that:\n\nP_n = P_(n-1) + 4^(n-1)\n\nThat's because in the  n-iteration you add the third part of each of the sides of the precedent figure (by construction, you are adding two times the third part of each side and the erasing one time the third part of each side) . So the formula says:\n\nP_n = P_(n-1) + (1/3) * (number of sides of the figure in the n-1 iteration)\n\nBut realize that the number of the sides increases four times in each iteration (just look one side and see how it becomes four lines in the next iteration), and the inicial number of sides is 3 (the sides of the equilateral) so:\n\nNumber of sides of the figure in the n iteration = 3 * 4^n\n\nAnd then:\n\nP_n = P_(n-1) + (1/3) * (number of sides of the figure in the n-1 iteration)\n\nP_n = P_(n-1) + (1/3) * 3 * 4^(n-1)\n\nP_n = P_(n-1) +  4^(n-1)\n\nwhere P_0 = 3 * m , because it's the perimeter of a triangle of side m.

Here are a few ideas:\n\n-Make ornaments.  Find a playdough recipe that you can bake in the oven.  The kids can use cookie cutters to make different Christmas shapes, don't forget to use a straw to poke a hole for string before you bake!\n-Frosty pictures.  Using crayons, color a winter scene picture on black or blue construction paper.  Boil about a cup of water and add about a cup of Epson Salts, disolve.  Have the kids brush the solution overtop of their pictures.  When it dries it should look frosty.  OR you can also dilute white paint with water in a spray bottle, invite the kids to spray "snow" onto their pictures.\n-Photocopy a picture of Santa's face...have the kids color the pic and glue cotton balls on his beard.\n-Trace kids hands on red and green paper.  Make a wreath with the hand cutouts.\n\nAlso check out this site for some great ideas...\nhttp://www.dltk-holidays.com/xmas/santa.html

Snow, snowflakes, ice and and ice-skating rink for a dance floor.\n\nWe did April in Paris for our high school prom in the 70s.... and used flowers, an outdoor French cafe, and had pictures professionally taken under the Eiffel Tower.\n\nBe creative and imaginative for how to build things.  You can do an Eiffel Tower with snow on it, etc.\n\nHave Fun!\nSue
