Directions: |
Directions:Find a nice shady tree or area behind an old out-building or in an old barn. Make a makeshift table, or shelves for cupboards. Find and fill cans with dirt. Take 2 quarts of dirt: sift it through the window screen. Put 1-2 cups sifted dirt in a can or old pot. Mix with water until right consistency for shaping cookies. Take about 2 Tbls mud dough in hand and flatten into cookie shape; put on board. When desired amount of cookies are on the board, set aside to dry or first decorate with gravel stones, sand or tree seeds. For variation, you can go to the chicken house and find an egg or two and add them to the cookie dough. For a really speciall cookie, try a goose egg, though this is not advisable, as parents don't always approve. You can also put your mud dough between 2 leaves and make filled cookies. A goose feather makes great designs on the cookies. Find old pie tins or cake pans and fill with mud for pies and cakes. |

Notes: Priscilla and Sandi grew up in a time where we played outside and used our imaginations for tea and dinner parties. We had the best play houses around. We tramped through trees and gathered our supplies and utensils, that was the fun part. Teach your grand children how to make mud pies for a fun afternoon, please.
