We started our land-form unit today. The older students were challenged with a 25 word match game. The younger students made land-form books. These will be used to help the students create a diorama next week. Dioramas will be 3 dimensional and will take a few classes to complete. I'm including the recipe for the play dough the students need to make.
4 cups of flour
1 1/2 cups of salt
2 tbs oil (veg, canola, etc) anything really
1 cup warm water
food coloring
Mix the flour and salt in a large zip bag or bowl.(dry mix)
You can do this in one of 2 ways now. In one big batch or 4 little batches. That's up to you.
For one big batch: Add water, oil, and food coloring to a large bowl. Then add dry ingredients to the bowl. Stir until it's dry enough to handle with hands. Finish forming into a ball and wrap in plastic or place in zip bag.
For 4 small batches: In 4 smaller bowls, add 1 tea of oil, 1/4 cup of warm water, and food coloring. Now add one cup of dry mix to each small bowl. Stir until it's dry enough to handle with hands. Finish forming into a ball and wrap in plastic or place in small zip bag.
Here is a link to the recipe I used:
