Learning about different coins by making new ones in play dough!

As you read the next book to ur child, grab some play dough and act out the book using the play dough. Both me and my daughter did this, we took one color and as we went on we added another color and made another thing. (ex. for this book we made a leaf then turn it into a seal and so on) in the end we ended up with the colorful heart. Very fun and creative.

it's what happens when you can not find the barbie clothes. Was fun, my daughter loved mixing colors and trying different things. Don't forget to send in ur fan photos!

Good way to teach all about plants (different parts of a plant and how they make food) also just a good way to get kids out and active!

easy craft for older kids first heat some pots up in a oven. We did the lowest setting for 15mins. Then using crayons draw on the pots and watch as the crayon melts. Another way to do it (we did both ways one on each) is to use a blow dryer and have it facing the crayon as you draw on the pot. Best to do this with new long crayons so you do not burn a hand. Let cool and done!

recently I taught my daughter how to make play dough flowers by rolling play dough out flat then rolling it back in a little sideways to make the flower. My question is how do you make play dough flowers?

to make we colored rice red and green using food coloring and a little bit of water. once it was dry we glued them to paper and drew the rest.  Note- i would say draw first before the rice, unlike what we did. We also place it between two sheets of contact paper to keep any rice from falling.

turning animals into superheros with some play dough, great for any kid.
