Montessori-Inspired Christmas Playdough Activities

By

I’m a fan of playdough activities at any time, and Christmas is an especially fun time with a number of different themes and recipes you can try at home or school. You can easily set up a Montessori-inspired playdough activity on a tray or as a separate playdough table.

    This is perfect timing! We are scheduled to bring the December play dough and I was trying to decide which “flavor” we would do. Thanks for featuring our candy cane play dough. Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

      Thanks, Kelly … I’m glad the timing was right! I LOVE all the playdough activities you’ve had in the past. I’ll look forward to seeing your December playdough activity! I had a fabulous Thanksgiving weekend celebrating both Thanksgiving and my parents’ 60th wedding anniversary! I hope yours was wonderful, too. 🙂
