I thought it would be fun to put the playdough inside of Easter Eggs for Easter. If you want to do this make sure to first add tape to the inside of the eggs. The eggs come with small holes and you want to cover them so they become air tight, this way the playdough doesn’t dry. I found these clear small 2 oz. containers in the paper plate aisle at Wal-Mart. I hope you give it a try!
The Best Homemade Playdough Recipe Over the years I have tried at least 10 homemade playdough recipes, and some have been big hits, and some have been big misses. I feel like I have finally figured out the best recipe, and I am going to share it with you today. It is pretty easy, and involves ingredients that you likely have at home all the time (except maybe you don’t have cream of tartar…maybe…). This recipe is quick, yields a lot of playdough, and the playdough actually stays good for a long time. This would work great as a class activity for kids, or as a home activity for kids. What you need (see bottom of post for printable recipe): 1 cup flour1 cup water2 tsp. cream of tarter1/3 cup salt1 TBS vegetable oil (people have commented using coconut oil with success as well)Food Coloring – I highly recommend this coloring, you only need 1-2 drops and the colors are so vibrant The above will make you a large ball of playdough. What to do: Next, add 1 cup of water and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil I just love all the colors!
Measuring play dough inchworms We spent a little time exploring inchworms this week. Of course, you can’t explore inchworms without first reading the book” Inch by Inch ” by Leo Lionni. To extend the book into our play we did a little play dough inchworm measuring… I made little rulers for my students to use. They are not an exact measurement but they got the idea across and each child got to take their rulers home at the end of the day. Our inchworms all measured out to be much longer than one inch! And this is the world’s longest inchworm but unfortunately, we didn’t get around to measuring it so you just have to take my word that it is the world’s longest inchworm… And after all the inchworm rolling and measuring, the children decided to use my measuring spoons to make prints in the play dough.

The Play Room Play dough and toddlers—it’s something that transcends generation and gender as a childhood staple. But rather than run out and buy pre-made play dough from the toy store, I’m about to share the best recipe I’ve ever used to make a homemade version. (And, shhh, it’s an even better consistency than the pre-packaged stuff.) Not only is it easy and entertaining (a good afternoon project on a rainy day!) Ingredients: 4 cups flour 2 cups salt 4 cups water 4 tbsp. cream of tartar 6 tbsp. vegetable oil Food coloring (I use the color gels found at craft stores because they have such strong color pigments.) Directions: 1. Add all of the ingredients into one big pot (which toddlers can easily help measure and dump), and continuously stir on the stove. 2. Transfer the play dough to a bowl and knead until it’s soft and smooth. 3. This recipe makes a pretty big batch, but it comes out so perfectly soft and squishy that I wouldn’t mess with the measurements too much. And the kids wouldn’t want you to.
