Playdough Recipe
Note: this recipe contains a lot of salt, so please discourage children from eating the playdough.
Ingredients
1 cup of flour
1 cup of water
½cup of salt
2 teaspoons of cream of tartar
1 teaspoon of cooking oil
a few drops of food colouring
Put all the ingredients together into a saucepan, and mix them. Heat them gently, stirring all the time for about 3 minutes, or until the mixture resembles mashed potatoes and starts to pull away from the sides of the pan. Turn off the heat and let it cool for a couple of minutes, then knead it on a floured surface until it is smooth. The playdough can be stored in an airtight container and will keep for a few weeks.

Daily Sudoku Puzzle
Sudoku is a puzzle craze that looks set to stay. The idea is simple; just fill in a nine by nine grid so that in each row, column and small square the digits 1 -9 appear only once. You have to use only logic to work out where the rest of the numbers go, and mathematical skill is not needed to solve these puzzles.
