21st at 10:00am: Bible Church - Craft Theme: Individual Pumpkin Pies
For everyone who wasn't able to make it...here's the recipe we used.
This makes a lot of pie mix, so invite several little friends over and dig in!
1 pkg vanilla pudding mix (big or small - I think we used the big)
1 can pumpkin puree (big or small - just depends how much you want to make! We used the big, "Easy" kind with the spices already in it)
1 1/2 c. milk
spices (if your puree doesn't have it already)
mini pie crusts
whipping cream
Mix the milk and pudding together until smooth. Add the pumpkin and mix well. Scoop into individual pie tins and either refrigerate or eat immediately! It's always better topped with whipped cream!

Instructions for Flubber (Gak) from Sheri:
I found this at http://www.omsi.edu
In a small container, combine:
1-1/3 cup very warm water and 2 tsp. Borax
Stir until Borax is completely dissolved.
Set aside.
In a large container, combine:
1-1/2 cup very warm water, 2 cups Elmer's White Glue, Liquid water color (or food coloring), and glitter (optional).
Mix thoroughly.
Pour contents of the small container into the large container.
Mix well using your hands.
Lift and turn the mixture until it's fully combined.
Notes: If it sticks on hair, clothes or carpet use white vinegar to clean. Yields 6 children. Will last up to 2 weeks if stored in airtight container.
Instructions for Colored Rice from Sheri:
I found this at http://www.dltk-holidays.com
You can do this in a large ziplock bag, or in a container with a lid.
Add a healthy amount of food coloring to 2 tsp of rubbing alcohol.
Pour in about 3 cups of rice.
Shake well.
Pour onto a cookie sheet lined with wax paper or tin foil.
Let dry about 1/2 a day (I did it overnight).
Notes: Be careful as it is food coloring and it doesn't come out of clothes well.
