Playdough Recipe

Basic ingredient ratios:

2 cups flour

2 cups warm water

1 cup salt

2 Tablespoons vegetable oil

1 Tablespoon cream of tartar (optional for improved elasticity)

How to make mud pies

In a small bucket add equal quantities of water and of dirt.

Using their hands, get your children to mix the water and dirt together until it feels a bit like bread dough.

If the mixture is too crumbly add some more water, or if it is too runny add more dirt until it becomes the

right consistency.

Press, pull and knead the dirt mixture until it becomes firm enough to make a sausage shape and doesn’t

break apart.

Your mixture is now ready to make mud pies!

Flour Glue Ingredients

½ cup flour

⅓ cup water

Simple No-Cook Flour Glue

1 cup flour

½ cup water

1/8 teaspoon salt

Easy Science Experiments

1. Mix some pepper and coarse salt together and place on a flat surface. Blow up a balloon and rub it on your

hair! Now hold it over the salt/pepper mix. The pepper will separate out and stick to the balloon. Do you

know why?

2. Roll a piece of paper into a tube and look through it with your right eye. Hold your left hand open with your

palm in front of your left eye - still looking through the tube with your right. You will find you have a hole

through your hand!

3. Place 1 tablespoon of baking soda into a bowl. Pour in some vinegar. What reaction takes place?

4. Place a heavy coin into a small matchbox tray, then float both in a glass of water. Mark the level of the liquid

on the glass. Will the level rise or fall when you remove the coin from the box and place it in the water?

5. .Use lemon juice or vinegar to write a message onto paper. Hold it (carefully - keep the paper moving) over a

flame to cause the message to appear.

6. Blow up a balloon and stick tape on two opposite sides. Now carefully push a knitting needle through the

sticky -taped sections. Why doesn't the balloon burst?

7. .Place a ping-pong ball inside a large jar of water. If you hold a tall glass upside down over the ping-pong ball

and push down, will the ping pong ball stay where it is, or move?

8. Pour some white vinegar into a bowl and add a spoonful of baking soda. Wait until the fizzing stops. Now

light a candle and move the flame towards the vinegar. The flame will go out before it gets there. Why?
