Waiting for snow….

We haven’t had any snow since October, so we’ve been making some of our own! Today the children had a chance to make their own batches of salt clay dough.
We read the book, All You Need for a Snowman, and I’d anticipated seeing a lot of little snow people and creatures! Instead, we had wonderful creations with very detailed stories!
First, we had to make our dough.
Then we mixed and kneaded….

Added glitter:

And a lot of imagination!

What did this activity require? Measuring, counting, following written directions, following verbal directions, tactile stimulation, fine motor development, estimation and a LOT of creativity! Their stories about their creations are amazing!
