Playdough Activity – Building with Playdough and Wooden Blocks
Just when I think we can’t possibly come up with a new way to play with playdough, we do! Well, my five year old play dough lover does! A cranky Morgan demanded that we play with playdough this morning… “And bits of wood.” Lucky for me we had a big batch of playdough that we […]
