In the story, the other creatures invite the mouse to have something to eat with them in their house. Support your child to develop their independence skills by making a snack or meal with you.
Follow the recipe below to make playdough together. Encourage your child to measure out the ingredients giving support through modelling and getting them to copy. Then your child can mix together the ingredients. What can your child make with the playdough? There were a lot of creatures in the story. Your child might like to make a creature of their own.
Playdough recipe
2 cups of flour
1/2 cup of salt
1 cup of cold water (possibly a 1/2 cup more)
2 tablespoon of cooking oil
2 tablespoons of cream of tartar
Encourage your child to create their own home from recycled food packaging you have in the house such as empty yoghurt pots or cereal boxes for the mouse in the story or the creature they have created from playdough.
Support your child to place recycled items in the water using your sink or bath and demonstrate pouring, filling up, emptying these resources.
