Activity 1 for baby

Making Play Dough





1. All children love making things even if it's only mud pies. They see you cooking and doing other chores and even as early as eight or nine months they use pretend play to experiment with the skills they need to copy what you're doing. Play dough provides an ideal material because of its plasticity, staying power and re-usability. 


2. You will need : 
  • Flour
  • Salt
  • Oil
  • water
  • Cream of tartar
  • Food coloring

3. How to make play dough : Mix together 2 cups of flour, 1 cup of salt, 1 teaspoon of cream of tartar, 2 tablespoons of oil and 1 teaspoon of food coloring with 2 cups of water in a saucepan over a medium heat. Stir constantly until the play dough comes together. Continue to stir for a couple of minutes, then take it out and knead it for several minutes. Keep it in an air-tight plastic container. Don't let your baby eat it.
