If you have a great recipe for homemade play dough, please share it!
The "Gingerbreadiest" Play Dough is one I use in the first grade Capital Letters block (K is for King, Q is for Queen, C is for Cinnamon, G is for Ginger). It is a wonderful sensory experience as well as a perfect tie-in to The Queen Who Couldn't Bake Gingerbread by Dorothy Van Woerkom.
However, this recipe dries out overnight, even when stored in an airtight container. So instead of trying to keep it for a long time, just take it outside for Forest Putty play... and we did that today. Thank you to the fine folks at Tinkergarten for coming up with this great outdoor creative play idea!
Now, on to the recipes!
