One of our favorite things to do (both students & teachers) other than recess time is Arts & Craft Time!!!! Our favorite craft is Playdough! Everyone of all ages love playdough! This project is a wonderful fine motor/pre-writing activity! Toddlers love smashing, squishing, pinching, rolling, peeling, and yes sometimes eating playdough! (So, watchout!) Older children love creating different sculptures. If you don't have playdough at home, you can make your own with simple ingredients. Go online and find the dough recipe that works for your family! You can find scented playdough recipes also! Add cookie cutters, utensils, toy cars, Fisher-Price Little People, dinosaurs, utensils, even pasta in this play! In this picture, Brody & Lucas use our classroom kitchen items with their dough play.
** If you have this on hand, Crayola Model Magic works just as well as playdough. Model Magic crumbles less and air dry quickly for great sculpture creations!
