Play Dough

I have recently fallen in love all over again with play dough. It is so much fun. It can be used for a variety of things. Just this week we used it to sculpt airplanes, flowers, igloo's, and more.

We also used it to practice making our numbers and letters. And since we had the newspaper out we pushed it on the newsprint and then looked at the letters in the mirror to read them the right way again.

My mom brought us some play dough for church last week and it thoroughly entertained my 4yr old for a good portion of the time.

In the past we have made it into a volcano for our baking soda and vinegar experiments.

You can also mix colors to make new ones!

All in all play dough is a preschooler must have!

Doodle Pro = Diaper Bag Life Saver

I carry two mini doodle pros in my diaper bag at all times. My four year old loves practicing his letters and numbers one at a time on it and then quickly erasing and moving on to the next. This has saved me many a time--whether waiting at the DMV or needing a quiet activity at church. My two year old uses his to scribble and sometimes to completely fill the screen. Can't complain about a toy that teaches!
