Activity 1: Shape that Dough!
Suited for kids: 4 - 8 years old
Time needed: 2 hours
Recommended because:
Kids get to mix, model, cook and paint in this "pau ka liao" (do-it-all) activity
They can easily make shapes such as: stars, duck, faces, ladybirds, letters and others
Dough Making
You need:
- water (200 ml)
- flour (300 g)
- salt (300 g)
- oil (2 table spoon)
- rolling pin/ cylindrical item
1) First, mix the flour and salt together in a bowl
2) Then, slowly add in the oil and mould the dough
3) Add in water as the consistency starts to dry up
4) Pat all ingredients into a ball, with surface being smooth
5) Then, proceed to roll it out with a rolling pin/ or any other cylindrical items
6) If the dough gets sticky, you can sprinkle on some flour to smoothen it out
7) Once you're ready to roll, you can proceed to make various shapes (adapt from items in your
house – easiest would be jelly moulds and cookie cutters!)
Bake those shapes!
You need:
- microwave/oven
- tray (heat proof)
1) Once shapes done, you can proceed to baking the shapes
2) Some tips: if shapes are big, they will take longer to cook, and if they are delicate, it can
easily break, so keep those shapes small and chunky
3) Bake the shapes for 20 minutes (180 Celsius/ 350 Fahrenheit)
4) After that, let the shapes cool for awhile ( 5 - 10 minutes)
Painting & Decorating:
You need:
poster paint
acrylics
PVA glue
You can now paint with poster or acrylic paint
Try mixing a little PVA glue with the paint ( 1 part PVA, 2 parts paint) and this will make it tough and shiny
