Cookie Clay Dough

I have a little guy that struggles sometimes in spelling. He actually does OK we just have to work really hard. I found this recipe on Everyday Food Storage. I modified it a bit by using real eggs. The original used 2 Tbs. Dry Egg Powder. At the beginning of the week, I quized him on his spelling words. With the words that he missed, I had him spell them using the cookie clay dough. We baked them and he ate his hard work. He really enjoyed this. It made spelling homework turn into fun (something that every 7 year old boy loves).
