Making Dough

We have been making our own dough using only water and flour. Firstly we measured out water using a measuring jug. We had to watch to see when the water had reached the fill line. After adding water to our bowl we then used our measuring cups to weigh out two cups of flour. Then we had the fun part of mixing. If our dough was to wet we added more flour. Lots of fun was had by all. At some points it got very sticky!!!! Our new “make your own dough” area will be an area available for all to experiment and create fun dough. Extra ingredients will be added to create a different experience. Making dough is an easy activity and one which can be easily done at home. The experience helps to develop early numeracy skills through weighing and measuring and use of mathematical language.
