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 !)
