Making textured playdough

Yesterday we made some special playdough that was a different texture to our normal playdough! We made one with cous cous - it had a rubbery texture. The second one we made had oats in it and was a bit bumpy. We talked about the ingredients we needed for the playdough and helped to count out the number of cups or spoonfuls we had to put in. We had to stir the ingredients together to make the dough.

After we had made the dough we played with it. We used lots of good words to describe how we could change and shape the dough, such as push, pull, squeeze, squash, stretch, pat and roll.
