What you will need

1 cup plain flour

2 Tablespoons oil

200ml Water

50ml Shampoo (we used Herbal Essence for the scent of flowers)

½ cup salt

2 Teaspoons cream of tartar

¼ cup Flowers Petals

How to make it?

• Pour all dry ingredients, flour, salt and cream of tartar together in a saucepan.

• Add oil, shampoo and water to dry ingredients.

• I use a whisk before heating as I find this helps remove lumps and blends the ingredients well.

• Cook over medium heat constantly stirring until it becomes a thick blob.

• Then turn out onto a clean surface and knead into a smooth ball. Be careful the play dough will be very hot!

• Allow the play dough to cool before playing kneading in the flower petals.

• Store in a plastic zip lock bag or air tight container.

Food colouring (optional)

Mix together and enjoy!

Please take pictures and post some questions that your child asks as well as some words to describe it? As it dries on your hands what happens when you squeeze it through your fingers?

At school we find a lot of snails while playing outside. One of our outdoor assignments last week was to build a snail farm. So, I thought it would be fun to make a snail craft out of paper plates!

Go for an opposite walk. Find things that are the opposite of black, big, down, and short.
