Why Yummy Dough?
Yummy Dough challenges kids in various ways. It challenges their imagination and creativity and trains their sensory and motor skills. In contrast to regular play dough there are various other factors which turn the kneading and baking with Yummy Dough into a lot of fun for the entire family, all educational aspects aside.
Yummy Dough encourages unity
Younger kids require assistance when preparing the dough, while pre-kneading as well as when using the oven, so parents or grandparents can help out. This experience results in valuable bonding amongst family members which is rare in times of computers and gameboys.
Yummy Dough enhances concentration skills
Kids have to concentrate for a long period of time to do the necessary steps to prepare the dough, to mix the colours and to realize plenty of ideas while kneading. Hours fly by and the creative results are a great treat for an afternoon full of fun.
Yummy Dough enhances a social together
Kids love to show what they have drawn or crafted and give their pieces of art to their mother, father, aunt and uncle. Tiny presents made out of Yummy Dough definitively maintain the friendship. There are plenty of great opportunities like Mother’s Day or Father’s Day, Birthdays, Name Day or simply a Thank you for the meantime.
Learning with all senses
It is important for the development of children to experience things with all senses. A primary school teacher told us that she has shaped the newly learned letters with Yummy Dough. The kids did not only get to know the letters by using their hands, but also with their mouths, because they were allowed to eat them afterwards.
Quality “Made in Germany”
Essknete, Yummy Dough in German, is produced by one of the leading manufactures of baking mixes in Germany, RUF Lebensmittelwerke KG, Quakenbrück. It is produced in accordance with strict guidelines (DIN EN ISO 9001, HACCP-concept). Only the best foods are used. The SGS Institute Fresenius performs quality and safety tests on a regular basis.
It does not matter how often you have said “Ugh“ and pulled a funny face: small children put everything into their mouths. It is better to trust in quality directly rather than limiting the fun by having to implement rules.
No danger of mix-up’s
Generally all play dough which is introduced into the European market has to be non-toxic. Therefore it is not dangerous if a child confuses regular play dough with Yummy Dough and tries it. Regular play dough is not meant to be eaten and therefore includes a bitter agent which makes it taste weird so that kids do not keep on eating it.
Why Yummy Dough and not cookie dough?
Yummy Dough cannot be compared to cookie dough. The special consistency of Yummy Dough allows long kneading and shaping, it doesn’t stick to the fingers and it doesn’t turn soft and ‘greasy’ like cookie dough. Yummy Dough does not contain rising agents, but a particular flour and starch. This ensures that you don’t get a stomach ache when eating it raw and that the figures stay in their original shape after baking them.
