Today's post looks at playdough.
This wasn't a very successful activity in our house which I believe could be down to the texture of the playdough. But don't let that put you off trying this cheap and easy activity! We'll be giving it another go in a week or two.
2 cups of flour
1 cup of salt
2 cups of water
2 tablespoons of oil
food colouring
Heat the ingredients in a pan over a low heat until they form a firm dough. Remove from the heat, allow to cool then add a few drops of food colouring and kneed the dough until the colour is spread evenly.
This activity is great for teaching colours and when the child is older you can show them how to make new clours by mixing primary colours together!
