With the help of Miss Lees the children follow the recipe and take turns brilliantly when stirring the mixture to produce the dough. When the stirring is complete the mixture is placed in the mircowave until it becomes the right consistency. The nursery children are always amazed at how the liquid changes into a mouldable dough and love playing with it when it has cooled!
