Happy Tuesday! I hope everyone was able to get some rest over this long weekend! It was so good to see both boys ready to play once settled in the classroom. To start off the week, N helped Ms. Margie make some playdoh for the class!
Making playdoh is one of our favorite activities to do in the classroom. It promotes so many different skills to work on like requesting, making choices, and overall participation. N helped Ms. Margie pour in all of the ingredients. Once they were all in, it was time to mix. L wandered over to the table and wanted to help too! He picked up the spoon and began to stir.
The two boys worked together to try and stir up the flour, salt, cream of tartar, and hot water.
Next, N added in some oil to make the dough smooth and pliable. 
After giving the oil a quick stir in the dough mixture, N picked two colors he wanted to go in next. He picked yellow and green!
With a couple good squeezes, N turned the dough into a vibrant green!
He stirred it all up with a little help from Ms. Margie. Now it was time to add a little more flour and roll it around on the table. The tricky part was the texture. The dough was awfully sticky, the flour was light and airy. N did his best navigating the different feels, but eventually was able to work through his discomfort.
By the end of the day both boys were using all kinds of materials and tools to explore the newly made playdough.
