This is the best and easiest playdough recipe EVER! Give it a go today. Here are some fantastic ideas from‘ The Polkadots’ on how to make this little activity exciting for both adults and children!
NEXT LEVEL! – Break up the batch of playdough into quarters, and make each quarter a different colour … its just more exciting that way … and as your child plays with them, and they start to mix together … you can explore the concept of COLOUR MIXING!!!
Taking it to the GOURMET LEVEL! – Add in some essential oils such as vanilla, strawberry, orange, rose, berry mix, lemon etc to each of the different batches. As you play with the playdough talk about what the playdough smells like and see if your child can guess the smell!( It makes your hands really soft and beautifully fragrant afterwards too!)
