​Full,half ,empty

 I asked my child to take three glasses and gave jug of water.

I wrote Full,Half ,Empty in respective glasses.
The child had to read it and fill the water in glass accordingly.

​Does it Float or Sink?

One of the activity which he is doing since toddler to till date.Yesterday ,when I was busy with my chores,found him playing this with objects available at home.
How my little hero plays Float or Sink 
He takes deep vessel ,fills it water.Then he collects whatever is available handy at home.
For example,Pen,feather,lock,small ball and soon.
Then he takes one object in hand and he would make a guess whether it will Float or Sink.
For example,If he takes a marble ,He will say marble will Sink.Then he puts marble in the vessel to see what happens.The best part is he would do analyse why does it Sink and not Float.
Similarly he does for other objects.Self engaging activity which my child loves to do.

Diy play dough

If you are thinking to do homemade play dough for your little ones which is completely free and can be done easily at home with ingredients found in your kitchen,then this post would be useful to you.

This is tried and tested method by me and I m following and using the same method from past 3 years with my little one.

You just need 5 ingredients to prepare this play dough.

Ingredients 

All purpose flour – 4 cups

Salt – 1 1/2 cups

Water – 1 cup

Oil – 2tbsp 

Food colouring of your choice

Procedure

Step 1: Take bowl,add flour and then salt.Mix it well.(Bowl 1)

Step 2: take small bowl ,add water and oil and drop of food colouring ,mix it well.(Bowl 2)

Step 3: Then add flour from Bowl 1 to Bowl 2 .Mix it well and knead it till it turns soft.

Your soft play dough is ready to use .This is very economical,chemical free and morever doesn’t need to cook or bake or creamtar

I thought to share it as it may be useful to some parents.

Happy learning☺☺

Note :

a.I have divided the flour to one cup each for each colour as I wanted four coloured dough.You can change it according to your need based on quantity.

b.I have sticked to this ratio as it is working well for me from past 3 years.

c.I store it in ziplock cover for long use.
