Homemade Play Dough (part II)

Is the play dough ready? It looks quite wet to me. Hopefully after putting in a little of flour, the dough will get dryer and the children could play with it. Then I distribute a small portion of the dough for each child. They were very excited and wanted to start with it.

I noticed that children love to roll the dough in their hand into a round ball shape. As this is handmade dough. The more the children rolled it in their hand, the temperature will actually make the dough moist and it started to get sticky and wet. Before I could stop the children from doing this, they had already got all the dough stick to their hand.

Children: I can’t play.

Children: Sticky.

Children: Wet.

Children: Teacher, why like this?

Jiun Jie: Sticky!

Yee Jie: I got an egg!

Zhen Yu: Hehe, look at mine!

The children started to complain and only a few of the children who roll their dough on the table could continue playing with it. What a pity.

We have to end the session earlier for clean up as the children got all those wet and sticky dough on their hands and tables.
