October 15, 2012 at 11:29 pmThanks, Cerys! I LOVE playdough activities … and I’m going to have lots of fun with them once I have grandkids! 🙂
Martianne says
October 8, 2012 at 5:25 amAnother 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
Deb says
October 15, 2012 at 11:31 pmThanks, Martianne! That’s so true … someone could have a real business if they developed a non-toxic product to do that! 😉

October 8, 2012 at 11:25 amCool! Thanks for the mention! I had forgot all about doing that cranberry play dough! I’ll have to do it again this year.
Deb says
October 15, 2012 at 11:32 pmThanks, Maureen! I’m glad I have it saved … it’s on the future grandma list! 🙂

October 11, 2012 at 6:29 pmThis 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.
Deb says
October 15, 2012 at 11:35 pmThanks, Carolyn! I sometimes think of myself as a curator of activities and ideas … it’s so much fun to put them together into themes! 🙂

We finally purchased Montessori At Home! We are thrilled that you and MPS introduced it to our home. We just got it last week and are really enjoying it!
Thanks so much! Now off to make some fun play dough!
