Rose Paint
For this activity I am planning to use this recipe from Mommy Nature and then I am going to tweak to fit our needs.
- 2 cups flour
- 2 tsp salt
- 2 1/2 cups cold water
- 2 cups hot water
Mix the flour and salt. Add cold water. Beat until smooth and gradually add hot water. Boil. Beat until smooth.
Then to make rose paint I will add crushed rose petals and a bit of beet powder to enhance the color.
Rose Playdough
This is easy! Just add rose petals, dried or fresh, to your favorite playdough recipe. You can further enhance the rose scent by using rose water or rose tea in place of the regular water when making your playdough. I also like to add glitter and beet powder to the playdough to make it sparkly red! Or you can add cocoa powder for coloring and make chocolate rose playdough, yum!!
Check out my playdough post for complete instructions!
Rose Sensory Table
I think it would be fun to set up a bin with fresh roses and leaves (no thorns please!) for the kids to feel and smell fresh roses. Silky soft and fragrant, um.... We will add some cups and things for sifting through the loveliness.
Stay posted for pictures, as I make these things for our party I will add pictures and of course, I will get some action shots from the big day!
Update on those pictures.... well, I forgot my camera and didn't get a single picture!! So bummed....
