Looking for something fun to do across the curriculum? Play dough is a great choice! Here is my never fail recipe:
Math (Measurement) & Science (Properties of Matter) coming up if you make it together…
- Combine dry (solids) ingredients in a medium pot:
1 Cup flour
1/2 Cup salt
2 tsp. cream of tartar
2. Combine wet (liquids) ingredients in a liquid measuring cup:
1 Cup water
2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
Food colour of your choice
3. Combine liquids and solids in pot and stir until combined.
4. Cook over medium low heat stirring constantly until it comes away from the sides of the pot (it will make a big ball–and look like play dough!)
5. Turn out onto wax paper and knead it for a few minutes. Let it cool–knead it again and have fun creating!
Math:
Subtraction Smash–make play dough balls–then smash some–write a subtraction sentence to go with it…
6-2=4
Literacy:
Build a Word–choose a sight word from the word wall (see previous post)–and build it using play dough snakes…
Build a Letter: playdough abc
Art:
