Sand Play Dough

[angeldelight]

We did this for our beach theme and a great activity for the school holidays

Easy No-Cook Play Dough Recipe:
* 1 cup of salt
* 2 cups of plain flour
* 2 tbsp oil
* 2 tbsp cream of tartar
* 1.5 cups boiling water
* few drops of food colouring and/or flavouring
* few drops of glycerine (for extra shine, stretch and smoothness)

To the basic dough we added a cup of sand and half a cup of rice ( Not sure where I got the idea from but its not my own )

You can put anything you wish into it though

It takes a while to mix the sand in so be patient

Then its ready for the children to play

We got some shells and pushed them into the dough to make a beach theme.
We also used some cocktail umbrellas - cheap from Tesco

knowledge and understanding of the world: beach, seaside, sand, pebbles, shells etc multi-sensory play
language and vocabulary
counting, ordering, shape, size, making things fit
