In this lesson, students will engage in a Christmas-themed play-dough activity, focusing on sensory experiences and active participation. They will learn to make a basic unscented play-dough using flour, salt, vegetable oil, and warm water, with options to add flavors like cocoa powder or peppermint extract for variety. It’s emphasized that at least one batch must be white for an upcoming literacy session, and variations like gingerbread or hot chocolate play-dough can be created by adding specific ingredients.
