Extension Activity:  Make pretend pizza! You can use anything to make pretend pizza, but a really fun option is play dough. You can easily make some with ingredients you are likely to have at home. The best recipe we know of is this one (URL: https://youtu.be/veU_cTik7A4) which uses cream of tartar. But, if you don’t have that on hand, you can make this three-ingredient recipe (URL: https://youtu.be/4hpD5f35V3A) using 2 cups flour, 1 cup salt and 1 cup water. Let your child choose what shape their pizza will be and what toppings they want on their pretend creation – anything goes!
