Mint Playdough

This a delightful playdough recipe with the aroma of fresh mint!
If you have the including loose real mint leaves is a great way to add
texture to their play.

The beauty of this recipe is it doesn’t matter if your children eat it as

it’s all natural. You can also freeze and then defrost it when you want

to reuse it.

• 2 cups plain flour

• 1/2 cup salt

• 2 tbsp vegetable oil

• 2 tbsp cream of tartar

• 1.5 cups boiling water with a Mint

Tea-bag soaked in it for a few minutes

• food colouring (optional)

• few drops glycerine (optional - adds more shine!)

1 Mix the flour, salt, cream of tartar and oil in a large mixing

bowl.

2 In a separate bowl, add the food colouring to the boiling

water then mix into the dry ingredients.

3 To keep it all natural, you can leave the food colouring out.

4 Stir continuously until it becomes a sticky, combined dough.

5 Add the glycerine at this stage (optional).

6 Allow it to cool down then take it out of the bowl and knead

it vigorously for a couple of minutes until all of the stickiness

has gone. This is the most important part of the process, so

keep at it until it’s the perfect consistency!

7 If it remains a little sticky then add a touch more flour until

just right.

Now it’s ready to be created by your child’s imagination.

Speed limits around NaeNae

Susan from Naenae

Hi Neighbors, Just a heads up, I have just received a $170 fine for driving at 50km on Rata Street Naenae on a SUNDAY Morning. I wrote to NZTA pointing out and sending in a photo of sign stating that it was 30km on school days between those hours, but they said that the whole of Rata Street and some surrounding streets are 30km 24/7 and have been for over a year. Did I miss this been advised by council? Always good to be informed. Merry Christmas to all
