Bug Eyed!


Very Hungry Caterpillar Inspired Playdough Fun!
 Our Very Hungry Caterpillar unit at the end of the school year inspired me to cook up a new batch of green playdough for the classroom.  I added large googly eyes, black pipe cleaners and all the red and green plastic caps I could find in our sorting bin (we have hundreds of plastic caps for counting, sorting and patterns).  Homemade playdough will last much longer than store bought.  I just store in plastic zippered storage bag and it will keep for a year to eighteen months. 

Need some playdough recipes?

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Take playdough to the park, on trips. to family reunions or outside on your picnic table. Have playdough ready for indoor play---rainy summer days and baking hot summer days!  It's time to cook up a batch of playdough for summer fun with your child!
