What we smell and taste
Nicole thinks chitlins are disgusting because she thinks they smell so bad.
1. Are there foods that you don’t like because you think they smell or taste bad? What are they?
2.
Have you ever noticed somebody else show they don’t like the smell or taste of food you bring to school? What do they say or do? How does that make you feel inside?
3.
Are there people you know who make these foods? Why do you think they make them?
4.
Are there foods you love because you think they smell or taste good? What are they?
5.
What are the differences between the foods that you don’t like and the foods that you like?
6.
If someone offers you food that you think smells or tastes bad, what can you say or do to show respect?
Act A
Make your own play dough and add different spices for smell. Which spices do you like the best?
Act B
Go outside and notice smells. What are they? What smells do you notice that you like? Which ones are not so nice? How does it smell when you get back inside? Share what you experienced.
BEST EVER NO-COOK PLAY DOUGH RECIPE
You need
- 2 cups plain flour (all purpose)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (baby oil and coconut oil work too)
- 1/2 cup salt
- 2 tablespoons cream of tartar
- 1 to 1.5 cups boiling water (adding in increments until it feels just right)
- gel food coloring (optional)
- a few drops of glycerine (my secret ingredient for stretch and shine!)
method
- Mix the flour, salt, cream of tartar and oil in a large mixing bowl
- Add food coloring TO the boiling water then into the dry ingredients
- Stir continuously until it becomes a sticky, combined dough
- Add the glycerine (optional)
- Allow it to cool down then take it out of the bowl and knead it vigorously for a couple of minutes until all of the stickiness has gone. * This is the most important part of the process, so keep at it until it’s the perfect consistency!*
- If it remains a little sticky then add a touch more flour until just right
