Wonderful collection of playdough we need more I don’t thin we can ever have enough
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
Thanks, Martianne! That’s so true … someone could have a real business if they developed a non-toxic product to do that! 😉
Cool! Thanks for the mention! I had forgot all about doing that cranberry play dough! I’ll have to do it again this year.
Thanks, Maureen! I’m glad I have it saved … it’s on the future grandma list! 🙂
This is such a great round up of fun, seasonal play dough recipes. Thank you for featuring some of our play dough fun!
Thanks, Kelly … and my pleasure! You have awesome playdough activities! 🙂
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! 🙂
Thanks for the mention! Just to say, you are MORE than welcome to use a photo and link to any post in future. I know I missed a general call out that you did recently! We have a lot of Montessori and Reggio inspired playtimes 🙂
It’s my pleasure, Anna! Thanks so much for permission to use your photos in the future. You have so many awesome activities! I’ll be sure to always give you credit, link to your post, and leave a comment letting you know whenever I use a photo of yours. 🙂
Deb,
Thanks for all your posts! I often have LMN up on my computer for inspiration!
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!
