Make some playdoh
Make some playdoh together to play with. You will need
- 1 cup flour
- 3/4 cup salt
- 3/4 to 1 cup water
- A few drops of food colouring
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Mix all the ingredients and knead until smooth. Playdoh can be covered and kept in
the refrigerator for later use. It should keep for about a week. If it goes mouldy
or starts to smell funny, throw it in the bin.
Once you’ve made your playdoh, use
it to make things beginning with p, e.g. a penguin, a picnic, or a princess. What
else can you think of?
Potato printing
Cut some potatoes in half. Use a felt pen to draw a square on the flat surface. Cut
away the potato around the square to leave it raised. Now you will need some paper
to print on, a paper plate and some poster paint. Pour some poster paint onto the
plate and press the potato shape onto it. Then press the potato onto the paper to
print a square. You could make patterns using the square and one colour, or you could
use different colours, or make other potato print shapes.
