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.

Exploratory harbour bores project update — drilling resumes

The Team from Wellington Water

With the New Year, the harbour bores project has resumed its drilling programme with the barge and drilling rig Tuhora heading back out.

With the New Year, the harbour bores project has resumed its drilling programme with the barge and drilling rig Tuhora heading back out.

Drilling is expected to continue for up to 30 days, weather dependent, at a new location near Somes Island.

We’ve chosen this site based on data from the first bore site which indicated that whilst the Waiwhetu aquifer has treatable quantities of freshwater in a viable yield, there is potential for better results at a second site.

This site also allows us to triangulate results using data on water from the land-based bore on Somes, which also draws on the Waiwhetu aquifer.

The barge and drilling rig has had modifications to the leg bases to ensure stability in the softer sea bed conditions.
