Lego shortbread cookie day.
So - to do this fun and silly little craft - we took a basic short bread recipe here- doubled it and added a bit water - to make it play dough like.
To color it - I have to admit you either have to purchase a nicer food dye - such as Wilton brand food coloring - but if you only have access to mccormick (like me) - just own the fact that you are going to need the whole bottle to achieve these colors. And I staight up just used my hands to mix it- like my hands got good and stained - but by the time it was mixed - the childrens hands stayed pristine -
My poor stained hands.
So here is the handy dandy lego mold I got off amazon here. I cut it down the middle so that I could use the outside to press the indents into the bottom of the lego cookies - making them actually stackable.
Then you press your different colored dough into the mold - pop it out - and bam. You have lego cookies. also - you can use the dough to just make little guys and stuff to go in your lego structures you will build with your amazing cookies.
Here are childrens enjoying their craft!
Ah! Look how hard they work!
Fun for even the littlest guy ^_^ !
It got experimental toward the end.
So there you have it! A quiet fun geeky craft for the littles on a late winters day!
Cheers!
