Materials:

• 1 cup of cornstarch

• a few tablespoons unsweetened cocoa

• 1/2 water

• farm animals, trucks, cars, or bugs

Start by mixing the cornstarch and cocoa powder together. Then slowly add the water. Keep adding water slowly until you notice that the mixture hardens as you stir and then looks like liquid again a few seconds later. If it becomes too runny, simply add a little more cornstarch!

French Vocabulary:

If you are using farm animals, you could add in the French animal names with your child as they are playing. Your child might surprise you and know them since they have been working on them in class.

We have been working on :

la vache - cow, le cheval - horse , le mouton - sheep

le canard - duck, la poule - Chicken, le cochon - pig ,

la chèvre - goat
