Making Playdoh

Today some of the Pine friends headed to the kitchen to make some playdoh. Not only is it one of their favorite things to make in the kitchen, it's also one of their favorite choices in the classroom. 

While making playdoh the kids need work on a number of skills throughout the process. They followed so many different directions including the recipe for the playdoh itself, mixing, pouring, and lastly cleaning up. Learning all of these skills in somewhere as preferential as the kitchen allows the kids to see how taking care of their materials and spaces gives them opportunities to work there in the future. 















By the end of the day the kids were excited to celebrate the accomplishments of working together and cleaning up. What a great morning!

How could they make a propeller? What does a propeller look like? The kids got to work on some research about wh...
