We have been very busy creating our visual recipe for our playdough station this week. We have nearly finished it, it\u2019s a work in progress.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nOur visual recipe board is to encourage our children to make their playdough independently.
\nOur playdough area has all the utensils and ingredients accessible to prompt the confidence and independence skills of all the children.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nToday, some of the children tried out the recipe board for themselves.
\nThe children looked at the board and collected what they needed. They looked at the numbers which told them the quantity needed and the picture to tell us the ingredients or colour of the measuring spoon.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nThe children took a bowl each and set to work to add each of the ingredients.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nWe added oil, warm water,\u00a0gluten free flour, salt and xantham gum.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The children then chose which colour to make our playdough.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Today everyone wanted to make it red so that colour was added and mixed all together to form the red playdough.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nNext the children put their hands in to knead the dough. It was a bit sticky at first so they added more flour.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nThen it was ready to play with. We got the playdough tray out and got to work creating our playdough masterpiece.
\nWe had lots of fun making aliens, people, presents and birthday cakes. We also were using the playdough tools to cut, roll and manipulate the playdough.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nIt\u2019s a very popular area of our nursery, we all like to make our own and learn lots of skills and develop our hand muscles as we play with the playdough.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nWe are all very proud of the children developing their independent playdough making skills. The children were very pleased with themselves, doing it all independently and having full ownership of the area.
