Some of the children enjoyed making their own play dough alongside an adult. They explored the textures of the flour and water with their hands and fingers before pouring the items into a bowl ready to mix together. We all thought the flour was 'soft' and the water was 'cold'. One child asked what colour the flour was and what the dough smelt like. We were so proud once we'd made our dough and used movements such as poking, pinching, pressing and pulling to manipulate the dough.
'Can we get rolling pin?' One child asked. The children then used the wild animals to make prints in the dough. '1, 2'. One child commented as they looked at footprints they had made. 'Bang bang bang' another child said as they created a sound on the table with the rolling pin.
