Recipe for Play dough

WOW, what a day! Caroline and I made play dough today for our "work" time. Work time is when Caroline (3y)and Devon (7y) both have school work to do. Of course, Devon is a tad upset that Caroline's work is play dough.

So, I found this super site of Preschool Corner that offers FREE play dough mats. I print these mats and place them into protective sleeves for continuous play. Then I created a name mat for Caroline to "make" her name in play dough. She did a GREAT job, yes I am bias.
