\\n\\nFeedbag Roll Call:

\\n\\nAmy called with a suggestion for traveling with small children and called to tell us about 3 websites where you can get drive-in information: Drive-ins.com, Drive-in Theater.com, and List of active drive-in theaters. Check out The Car.

Check out Henson.com for a great behind the scenes podcast produced by Grant Baciocco of The Radio Adventures of Dr. Floyd.

\\n\\nTina of tinatheartist.com wrote with her recipes for the sensory table:

\\nPLAY DOUGH
\\n1 cup flour
\\n1/2 cup salt
\\n1 cup water
\\n1 Tbsp vegetable oil
\\n1 Tbsp cream of tartar (optional)
\\nHeat in heavy saucepan. Cook stirring constantly until forms a ball. Turn out onto floured surface and knead until desired consistency. Store in plastic bags or airtight container in refrigerator.

\\n\\nCORNSTARCH PLAYDOUGH
\\n2 lbs baking soda
\\n1 lb cornstarch
\\n1 1/4 cups water
\\nCook until consistency of mashed potatoes. Can add more water if needed later.

\\n\\nSILLY PUTTY
\\n2 parts white glue
\\n1 part liquid starch
\\nfood coloring
\\nMix until it achieves the \'right\' texture. If the silly putty is too sticky then it\'s too gluey, add more starch. If the silly putty won\'t stick to itself then it needs more glue. Store in airtight container in fridge.

\\n\\nOOBLIK
\\nWater and cornstarch
\\nCan\'t remember the proportions, play around with it. It should flow like a liquid but when you press it feel like a solid, you can roll a ball in your palms for example.
