There was lots of learning happening recently when the children helped to make play dough. They were learning the importance of reading a recipe so that they know how much of each ingredient to use – there was good number recognition by some for this part of the task. Then they took turns to help count the number of spoons of each ingredient as they put it into the bowl and there was careful measuring to make sure we had just the right amount of water. As you can see, there was lots of super concentration and it was no surprise that the play dough turned out well. It’s true what they say that some things seem better when you make them yourselves and this play dough was certainly very popular so well done to the counters and mixers.
