Playdoh is GREAT!

Playdoh is a great activity for children!  Squeezing and molding playdoh strengthens hand and finger muscles that young children need to draw and write.  There are several recipes out there for playdoh but this is one of my favorites.  I love the color and SCENT of the koolaid playdoh!  It makes it so much fun to play with.  This playdoh is not as crumbly as some. 

 

I remember when my children were young.  I would always have an ice cream bucket of playdoh and some cookie cutters on hand.  It was a great "rainy day" activity that would keep them busy and happy for a long time.  I could even get dishes done or fold the laundry while talking to them and watching them play. :)
