CHAIR YOGA WITH KATHRYN WARD
|
|
Beginning soon, Kathryn Ward will be offering free online chair classes.
In order to participate you need to be able to download an app or maybe you already have the app called Zoom. This is a free meeting app that allows users to meet (think practice yoga) together online. Kathryn has tried it with her mat classes, and it's amazingly easy, fun and a super way to center ourselves and connect with others during this challenging time.

Playdough stretches more than the imagination. I can also be a lesson in measuring, colors and textures.
Ingredients
- 4 cups of all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons of vegtable oil
- Tight-closing plastic bag or container
- Extras: cookie cutters, plastic utensils
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Steps
- Pour 1 cup of water into large bowl.
- add drops of food coloring into the water and stir.
- To the colorful water, add 4 cups of flour and 1 1/2 cups of salt and stir to blend.
- Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil (if the dough still feels dry, add another tablespoon or tow of oil).
- Plop your playdough onto a work surface and knead it to combine everything.
- Once you are done using, store in a tight-closing plastic bag or container.
