Question: How can I design a better Science Experiment For Preschoolers dealing with flour?

We are going to read a book about cupcakes and then for science I’d like to do an experiment with flour. Without actually cooking anything. Is letting them play with the flour and then mixing in water to see the change enough? Is there anything I can add to it?

Answer: You can make non cooked play dough. It will require mixing but at least you don’t have to cook it on a stove.

Here is a recipe I found

NO – COOK PLAY DOUGH

1 c. water
3 c. flour
1 1/2 c. salt
1/4 c. oil
Food coloring

Combine ingredients in bowl and mix. Add more flour if mixture is too sticky. Store in a plastic zip-lock bag.
