Simple Play Dough Activities

You can make a few right now!

I will say it again, simple fun for kids!

I won’t lie! I am desperately trying to get my son to enjoy play dough by coming up with unique ideas and twists. Sometimes we make our play dough and sometimes (won’t lie again) I don’t. Making your own play dough is truly easy and my favorite recipe is over at The Imagination Tree, no cook and quick! Take a look at our different ideas, change them to fit the season or your theme but enjoy and cherish the play dough years with your child!

Why Play Dough?

Play dough is excellent for many reasons! Why not? Play dough is simple and easy to make or find for starters. Inexpensive is a plus too! Kids have been playing with it for years. It is a great sensory tool for hands-on activities like letters and numbers and colors. It is a great muscle strengthener for little hands getting ready to write. It is relaxing to knead, roll, stretch, flatten, pound and whatever else is fun! It adapts to themes like a charm. Play dough loves to pretend, create, build, imagine and discover. Because of all these great things about play dough, I like to pull it out and try it every now and then and often give it that fun twist that helps the play along. Hope you enjoy our fun play dough twists anyone can do! Remember you can change anything to suit your needs!
