As you can see, Rugrats are a favorite in our house!
Mom often says she credits Nickelodeon with saving
her sanity! Our kids like lots of other things too, and
this page has lots of links to where you
can find their favorite sites on the web. It is broken down
into each childs favorites because of the differences
in their ages. All sites linked here are appropriate
for all ages, some may be more of interest
to a specific age however.

Check out this site for some
great kids recipes. You know,
things like homemade playdough
and bubbles, also some great
babyfood recipes!

And here are some of our family favorites!

Peanut butter Playdough-
This is a favorite in our house! Just
make sure not to give it to babies under 1yr old
as it contains honey.
3/4 cup smooth peanut butter
3tbsp honey
3/4 cup dried powdered milk
Mix all of the ingredient together.
If the dough is too stiff, add more PB.
If it is too mushy, add more dried milk.
More honey will help it hold together better.
It will keep in the fridge about 1 week

Formula for baby animals-
If you get stuck caring for the neighborhoods orphaned
animals, whether they are kittens or
chipmunks, this is what to feed them!
3 oz whole milk
1 tsp. mixed baby cereal
1/4 tsp. Karo (or other corn)syrup
Mix together all ingredients and feed to baby through
a medicine dropper, doll bottle, or
baby bottle.

Candy on Snow-
Great fun in the winter time! You need
fresh clean snow for this,
so leave a large roasting pan or deep
cake pan out to collect some.
It will take several hours to get enough
1 cup sugar
1 cup Maple Syrup (not just any pancke syrup,
it must be pure maple)
1 tbsp. butter
1 tsp. vinagar
Combine all ingredients in a sauce pan on low heat.
Cook until they set into a
consistancy that will "set"
(ie: harden to carmel like form) when
it hits the snow. You have to keep testing
it to be sure. Take by spoonfulls
and dribble onto your pan of snow.
The candy will cool almost instantly.
It is delicous!

Dirt Cake-
Kelsey loves to make this cake in a
(clean) flowerpot, stick a plastic
flower in and "fool" people!
It also makes a great "graveyard"
cake for Halloween or a garden cake
with several "flowers" made from toothpicks
and gumdrops. Add some gummy
worms for extra fun!
Large bag of Oreo cookies (crushed)
1 stick butter
8 oz cream cheese
1 cup powdered sugar
3 1/2cups milk
2 small boxes instant vanilla pudding
12oz Cool Whip
Cream butter and cream cheese with the
powdered sugar. Mix pudding and
milk, then add Cool whip. Mix the
cool whip and cream cheese mixtures
together. Layer the mixture and
crushed cookies in the pan (or pot :))
making sure to end with
a layer of crushed cookies. If you
are adding gummy worms, it is
easiest to place them on top of the
cookie layer, or you can mix
them in with the cool whip/cream cheese.
If you decide to use "flowers" you will
have to place pieces of pound cake in the
pan to hold them up. Have fun!
