It’s Playtime with Play Dough

July 6, 2011 by 5 Comments

We have tubs of playdough around here and love making our own batches. Just last week we had fun creating coffee playdough. Here are four creative posts that inspired me to play with playdough. Thanks for submitting them to It’s Playtime! Preschoolers Play with Playdough
Kate of Picklebums, had fun with her kids, some jungle toys and props, and some lime green playdough. I the Jungle scenes they created!
.
Rose at Walnut Acre had fun making tracks and mounds for dinosaurs to roam through with her playdough this past week.
.
Elise of Inspiration Surrounds had the brilliant idea of mixing mediums! Her kids used faces of themselves, paper bodies and bits of fabric along with playdough to create dress-up outfits. This has been added to our bucket list for sure!
.
Jaime had fun with her son making a layered playdough “food bin” and then they had fun excavating together with dumptrucks. This is definitely something that would keep my son enthralled!.

.

Moms throughout the ages have given a LOT of advice.

I remember when I was in grade school my mom started exercising and drinking 8 glasses of water a day.  I can still picture that blue semi-opaque glass that was perpetually by the sink.

Drink more water!

We are excited to be a part of Mom's Pure Wisdom on Nestle Pure Life Facebook Page.  

Stop by and share some mom wisdom {or see what other moms recommend}.

Go!  I am a mom and I say so :).
