::: bread machine playdough
A friend of ours owns a bread supplies business and loves using her bread machine.
She has sent us a recipe for making playdough in the bread machine which is quick and easy and great for those people who don’t want to get their hands mucky!
Pop the following into the machine:
1 and 1/4 cups water
2 tablespoons olive oil
squirt food colouring
3 cups of plain flour
Set the machine to the dough setting -
it only needs 5 minutes to make a nice pliable dough.
This keeps in the fridge for a couple of weeks or in an airtight container for 4-5 days. As there isn’t any salt in it, it’s OK if the children eat it!
::: make it irresisitible :::
We like to enhance the sensory experience by adding different textures such as sand, the treasure stones, and of course at this time of the year …
… glitter is always a goer!
By using vibrant colours such as the reds and greens and yellows it makes it all the more irresistible on the eye and don’t forget the sense of smell by adding a variety of essences such as peppermint, lemon, eucalyptus etc… Of course by popping on some Christmas music in the background, most sensory bases are covered!
