ACTIVITY: Cinnamon play dough (smells great 🙈)!

💪 PURPOSE ?
Play dough allows children to work on their senses, experiment with materials and develop their imagination. This recipe enriches the activity by adding a special feature: working with the sense of smell. And as Maria Montessori said: children learn with their senses!

👶 AGE :
You can offer this activity from 18 months and as long as your child enjoys doing it! It's an activity that appeals to young and old alike!

✅ HOW TO DO IT?
The recipe for cinnamon modelling dough:
- 2 cups flour.
- 1 cup salt.
- 4 teaspoons cream of tartar.
- 5 teaspoons cinnamon.
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg.
- 1/2 teaspoon cloves.
- 2 cups water
- 2 tablespoons oil.
Start by mixing the dry ingredients in a saucepan. Add the water and oil. Mix well. Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it begins to thicken and form a ball. Remove from the heat and knead once the dough has cooled. Keep it in a freezer bag to prevent it from drying out.
