Critical Thinking Questions to ask

What are the dry ingredients?feel and describe each one

What are the wet ingredients?

Mix just flour and salt together . Can u still feel each seperate ingredient?

What happens to the dry ingredients when you add water?

Do the dry ingredients change? How?

what does the vegetable oil do? Make some play dough with out the vegetable oil to find out the difference.

What would happen if you added a little more oil to the play dough mix? Try it and see!

************************

Let the kids experiement with their own formulas to make the best play dough. Spead newspaper out on the floor or on the table. Put the flour and salt in seperate bowls. Put water in a container that pours easily, (pitcher). Place the oil in a squeeze bottle for easy handling and measuring. The easiest way for kids to mix these ingredients is with their hands,just like making bread dough. ADD COLOR and SCENTS to the play dough for EXTRA FUN!
