Salt Dough

Ee Rynn has asked many times to make home made salt dough. We tried several times in Malaysia but the mixture don't firm up. We have decided to try again and we made it!

The ingredients:
1. multipurpose flour
2. salt
3. Warm water

We had fun. In this process, we learn :
1. Measuring - to ensure the right porposition of water and flour.
2. Addition - When calculating the right amount of the raw material together.
3. Sensory - When seeing the changes of two different ingredient become one, dough.
4. Logical thinking and decision making - when deciding on composition and colour
5. Communication - when we decide and discuss what is next throughout the process
6. Relationship building :-)

Colourful outcome

Note : You may use oven to speed up the drying process. We may proceed for colouring when the dough is harden.

The dough can be a fun play for kids too. My Ee Wern don't like the sticky feeling on her hand :-)



Hope you may have fun with your children and all the best :-)
