They seem to have forgotten entirely about the salt, but Ruby knew she needed oil. I, being the mean mother that I am, did not allow her to add any.I also wasn't quite sure what to do with their creation. There was no way for me to salvage it since I didn't know how much flour and water they had put in. So I let them stir for a while. We added food coloring (they seemed to think that was as important as all the other ingredients). Then it came to me: paper mache. What they made was paper mache paste, so we might as well use it that way.
I blew up two balloons and we covered them in some lovely newspaper strips dipped in the girls' paste. It was a very messy project and didn't make the girls very happy. Mostly because at the end of it they had no tortillas to eat.

That is so funny! What eager little helpers you have!
how fun!! at least you found them early in their cooking... before they added too many ingredients!
what a fun mom you are to help them create new things!
I am laughing. That's so funny. Shalon has been helping in the kitchen making tortillas and pita bread. I'm thinking about updating my blog... maybe I'll do it...
Meg, you're hilarious. Your last paragraph left me just laughing. But, it also left me very impressed that you thought of papier mache. I never would have.
