Thanks, Cerys! I LOVE playdough activities … and I’m going to have lots of fun with them once I have grandkids!

Another wonderful collection of ideas… Now, we just need one on how to get playdough and other homemade play products out of curtains, rugs, and clothing, etc. for when they find their way off trays and mats. I spent far too long trying to remove slime from said items the other day. LOL
Martianne recently posted..Charlotte’s Web Book Basket and More
Thanks, Martianne! That’s so true … someone could have a real business if they developed a non-toxic product to do that!

This is such a great round up of ideas. I get confused by the dozens of random pins and start wondering which is best for different projects and experiences for the children. This will be my reference point for further exploration. Thank you so much for all the time you spent putting this together.

Thanks, Carolyn! I sometimes think of myself as a curator of activities and ideas … it’s so much fun to put them together into themes!
