[I've found that homemade play dough is far superior to the store bought kind. Its softer, lasts longer and you can make whatever color you like just for that day. Not to mention adding fun ingredients to the mix!]

I'm a baker's wife and a stay at home mom. Hands on : as we grow is all about the activities that I do at home with the kids [Henry, 4, and George, 1 1/2]. We're full of energy and excitement and we sneak in learning opportunities wherever we can. But most importantly, we like to have fun with all of it. [Read

Great ideas for play dough play here. We made Disco Dough a few weeks ago – and my four year old worked the glitter into the still warm dough. Glorious stuff. Here's what she did with it if you fancy a quick look:-

My kids love making hedgehogs with playdough + toothpicks and we quite often use cookie-cutters, too. We use playdough to learn English as a second language at home, too. Here you can see how we learnt "Hey Diddle Diddle" with the help of playdough:

Love all the ideas… wish I had seen this before,but in the end it worked out great. I kinda did the reverse last time we had playdough out, no accessories, no color mixing, no tools of any kind… Day one "where are the cookie cutters?" all they did is make "pancakes" by smushing the dough flat. day 2 can we have scissors… mix colors… take it to the kitchen… and so it went. However I noticed each day the children got better with their hands, making coils/ snakes, balls and even modeling real life items, one child made a helicopter, blades and all. There was talk about all kinds of stuff while they simply manipulated the dough, kinda theraputic, keeping hands busy with out a goal, and brains free to think. On the last day I gave in and got out the cookie cutters and poof all creativity turned to "I had that one first"
I have to try some of the posted ideas, Spaghetti for sure. Thanks for getting me thinking again about this old stand-by
