Physical challenge

• At school the children enjoy making their own play dough.
• I have attached the recipe that we use.
• The children and I make it together all the time and it only takes a few minutes.

  Play dough recipe:

• 2 cups plain flour
• half to one cup warm water
• 2 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil (or any sort of edible kitchen oil)
• half a cup of table salt (this is optional, but acts as a preservative and adds a bit of extra texture and body to the dough)

How to make the play dough:

• Add the flour, oil and salt to a bowl and stir
• Add a couple of tablespoons of water to the bowl and start mixing gently
• Slowly add more water as required until you get a play dough consistency
• If the dough feels to sticky add more flour and more water if it is too dry.
• The dough will keep for a few days in the fridge in a sealed container.   

What can you make will the play dough? 

Phonics challenge
