The children at Sonas Gosnells have been working really hard on their mixing skills and remembering recipes, together we’ve made heaps of various dough consistencies such as:
Playdough
Oobleck
Cloud dough
Snow
Rosemary dough
Dough with sprinkles
The children show a growing understanding of the materials needed to create different sensations through our dough creation – TOUCH, SMELL, TASTE, and the various tools they can use to scaffold their learning within this sensorial play opportunity.
Providing the children with daily engagement assists them to build vital life skills needed for their future such as:
Cooking
Intrinsic learning synapses
Mathematical concepts
Following instructions
While still allowing for the children to explore their interests through what they create and the tools they add during play.
