Learning ideas for home

Ingredients:

Method:

You’ll need a big bowl to mix in, a large spoon and aprons on!
Mix together the flour and the salt in the large bowl
In a separate bowl, mix together the warm water and the food colouring
Slowly pour the water into the flour and salt mixture, and stir to mix. Keep stirring until the dough starts to form then take out of the bowl and knead with hands.
If the dough is sticky, more flour can be added. If it’s too dusty, try a little more water.

There are so many things you have in your home that can be turned into a sensory

play activity. Why not collect them all together and make a sensory bin? Start in the

kitchen as this is where you can make the most of things like rice, dried beans and

lentils.

Encourage children to explore the sensory bin – both with their eyes open to see the

colours and shapes, and with their eyes closed to really focus on textures and how things

feel. Let your child add to the sensory bin whenever they like with new additions – overall, a great sensory activity
