During Tuesday Lunch Bunch, the children in Kohavim worked together to follow a recipe to make playdough. They took turns adding ingredients and stirring. The children decided that because they were 5 years old, they would each mix five times. After the playdough cook, we took out the dough, let it cool, and then kneaded the dough. Together we followed the recipe below:
Playdough Recipe
Ingredients:
1/2 cup of salt
1 cup flour
2 tablespoons cream of tartar
1 cup water
1 tablespoon oil
Food coloring (optional)
1. Mix all ingredients together in a medium sized sauce pan
2. Stir over heat until dough is pliable.
3. Allow to cool.
4. Play with or store in a sealed container or plastic bag.
The next day, the children in Kohavim used rolling pins and cookie cutters with the freshly made playdough. It was challenging to using the rolling pins, because the children had to press down and roll the rolling pin at the same time to flatten their playdough. They then used the cookie cutters to cut out different shapes. The children noticed a pumpkin cookie cutter and discussed how Dunkin Donuts sells so many pumpkin flavored foods, such as pumpkin donuts and pumpkin munchkins. Yum! You might want to try making playdough at home with your child.
