This play dough recipe requires no cooking. Mix 1/2 cup salt and 1 cup flour. Gradually add 1/2 cup water. Knead the mixture until smooth. If it's too sticky, add more flour. Have the children pour the water, mix and stir ingredients. Talk about how the dry ingredients change when water is added. Use words like dry, powdery, liquid, sticky, solid.
