The children then used their gross motor skills to mix the ingredients together. During this time the children described the various textures they good feel.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

\u201cIt\u2019s so sticky\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMine is flakey\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201dIt gooey\u201d<\/p>\n

The children then made some predictions of what ingredient they could add more of to make the texture smooth. We continued to mix and experiment with our ingredients\u00a0 <\/span>until it became smooth and mouldable.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMine is soft like my teddy\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI love squashing it\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s like snow\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFluffy\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The children came to the conclusion that the cloud dough with conditioner was better.<\/p>\n

The children began to explore with the cloud dough using their hands. They began creating their own ideas using their imaginations and communicating with each other describing what they were creating. They then added some loose parts to help detail their masterpiece<\/span><\/p>\n
