1 - 2 - 3 GO!! TIME TO GET MESSY!!
This is one of the easiest way to keep kids occupied and one of the simplest things to QUICKLY be made!!
[Be sure the surface you use is easy to clean]
Items needed are:
About 1/2 cup flour, Spoon, About 1/2 cup water, and YELLOW food coloring
[Any color food coloring can be used but yellow won't stain your child's hands (or yours)]
Add your water slowly. Start by adding just a little and....
stirring and add more as needed. It should be slightly runny when you have the right consistency.
[If you let your little one stir it you may need to step in to make sure it is completely stirred]
[If you let your little one stir it you may need to step in to make sure it is completely stirred]
Add a few drops of food coloring and....
Stir it again making sure to get it all mixed in
Scoop it out on to the play surface.
[We did it outside and used wax paper. Although the wax paper got soggy it still made for slightly easier clean up]
Encourage free play with hands and or feet...
The longer the dough is played with the more sticky it gets
Wash hands (and/or feet) in warm water and you are good to go!
