So the girls and I got a little creative on a rainy day. We made paper mache hamsters and did some creative writing. Maya and I are still in the process of finishing the story. Unfortunately there were some technical difficulties uploading the video of our story. I'll post it after I figure out what the technical issues are. Let's just say it's our take on the "Three Billy Goats Gruff" but with hamsters. Hah.
We also used the home-made paste called "gaw-gaw." When I was growing up in the Philippines, I remember my Mom and Pops making this on the stove to keep up with my demand for more paste to use for my arts and crafts. The best part? It's made out of ingredients you already have at home. The gaw-gaw recipe I used is from www.baguio-city.net. This recipe makes enough to fill a 32 oz. jar and then some. Great for classroom use and safe for children to eat.

Gaw-Gaw Recipe from www.baguio-city.net
Ingredients:
4 cups boiling water
1 cup cold water
3/4 cup flour
3 tablespoons vinegar (optional)
Procedure:
Mix the cold water and the flour until well-blended. Make sure there are no lumps, so you can use a whisk. If you would like the paste to keep for more than a week, add the vinegar. Pour the mixture into the boiling water (over medium heat). Stir constantly. Soon, the mixture will thicken and turn into a gooey consistency. This will take about three to four minutes. Set aside and let cool.
