These gatherings are very informal, and you don’t need a Zoom account to join in! We sing some favorite songs, share how our days are going and lend our mutual support. 

Please RSVP ahead of time so that we can send out a Zoom link to you! Do you have a friend who might be interested in our Co-op? Please extend the invitation and include them in your reply to cotw@earthlink.net

Note: The Zoom gatherings will not be recorded. It’s O.K. if you need to enter the session after it starts and/or leave before it ends. Looking forward to seeing you and all the children!

Go here for loads of simple strawberry recipes

Go here for food art with strawberries (Check out the strawberries and banana car!)

Turn your homemade playdough into strawberry dough by adding a packet of strawberry Jello along with the flour.

HOMEMADE PLAYDOUGH

1 cup white flour **

¼ cup salt

2 Tablespoons cream of tartar

1 cup water

2 teaspoons vegetable food coloring

1 Tablespoon vegetable oil

** (heat-treated flour may be used to avoid any possible salmonella contamination)

Mix flour, salt and cream of tartar in a medium size saucepan. In a separate bowl, combine water, oil and food coloring and mix well. Add to saucepan, mix and cook over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon. Mixture will look like a globby mess and you’ll be sure it’s not going to turn out, but it will. When it forms a ball in the center of the pot and you can barely move the spoon, scoop it onto a clean counter or cutting board, let cool for 10-15 minutes, then knead it for a few minutes till soft, smooth & wonderful! Store in an air-tight container.
