One of my favorite materials is play dough. Yes, that's right, play dough, especially home made play dough! Home made play dough can be changed to go with your theme or study. You can add colors, smells, and textures to your play dough. And it last longer. Today I want to share a play dough recipe with you. I find the cooked play dough works better for me, but you can find no cook play dough recipes too.
As September quickly approaches, early childhood classrooms begin their study on fall - leaves, apples, pumpkins, etc. As you prepare for your apple unit try this recipe for apple pie play dough. Your children will be thrilled and you will find you will never use plain play dough ever again!
Apple Pie Play Dough: Use red, yellow, and green colored play dough, add cinnamon and/or apple pie spice to it. Lay out apple cookie cutters and tools on a plastic apple placemat. Show the children how to create a play dough ball to resemble an apple. Add pipe cleaners for worms.
Recipe:
• 4 cups of flour
• 1 cup of salt
• 4 cups of water
• 4 tablespoons of oil
• ½ cup cream of tartar
• 1 container (1 ½ oz.) apple pie spice
• Red food coloring (optional)
