We made play dough this week. It was messy and fun!
This is our step by step instructions, we ended up reducing the amount of water because it was WAY too sticky! We still needed to add more flour, it was definitely a work in progress.
There was lots of running to the sink to wash or wipe hands off on wet paper towels, and then they would dive back in. Lots of language (ew....this is gross....ick....mine is tooooo sticky... more flour please...).
A couple of days later, it needed MORE flour, so I'll have to study on this recipe a bit more.
I considered it a SUCCESS as a lesson!
This week was all about Pirates!
I found this pirate puppet on Teachers Pay Teachers!
You can get him from GreenAppleLessons.com
I found this awesome, amazing and "funnest" pirate science idea on Pinterest!
