It is time for Spring...

Yesterday was amazing weather. Children were playing outside and enjoyed bright sunshine. But today dark clouds covered sky and looks like winter still does not want to retreat...
OK, lets make something special!
Today we making a little Sun out of salty dough.

Two cups of flour
One cup of salt
One cup of warm water - easy!
Measure ingredients - So much fun!



We knead the dough for about five minutes to get rid of the air inside, otherwise our Sun may crack.
We knead the ball into a pancake (not very thin, we still need to put a stick in );
Making long stick like your finger, divide into equal pieces (we consider who got how much😊)
We make short sticks from the pieces and glue them  on the pancake with the water.
Gently turn over to burlap fabric or fine mesh and put a barbecue stick in.



















Let your masterpiece dry on a wire rack for 3-4 days, or dry in an oven at T 120 * F for 2-4 hours.
We usually paint our works when they are completely dry with acrylic paint, but this time we tried water colour on raw dough. The result exceeded all expectations!
Push the stick in a flower pot and enjoy your own Sun in your house😊🥰


Share your kids' work in the comments, huh?

Water colouring trees

Water colouring is easy... if you following some rules.
Painting happen with water (not with paint 😊)
Wash the paintbrush before touch another paint.
Dry before doing details.
Today SKs invited GR.2-3 for painting time.
