Playdoh Exploration

T walked over to the table full of playdoh and took a seat. He grabbed a huge hunk of playdoh and started squeezing it between his fingers and smashing it between his palms. He smiled as the dough oozed between the cracks of his fingers.

The kids got to work on some research about wh...
