Rolled dough

Science

• The child learned about the concept of mixing ingredients together to create a dough.
• They observed how the dough changed in texture and consistency as they rolled it out.
• They explored the concept of cause and effect as they observed how adding more flour affected the stickiness of the dough.
• The child learned about the concept of shapes and sizes as they cut out different shapes from the rolled dough.

For continued development, encourage the child to explore different types of dough such as salt dough or playdough. They can experiment with adding colors or scents to the dough and create sculptures or models. This will further enhance their creativity and fine motor skills.
