I decided to get the playdough out today for the 3 year old and 5 year old. I've found playdough mats on the internet before. Today I made some shape ones myself. Some people laminate them or I suppose you could put them in page protectors. I just put them under our clear plastic table cloth. (We got tired of Edmund spilling his water and soaking the cloth tablecloth.) They're basically any type of picture that you can interact with with playdough. Some ideas are big block letters they can use as a template to make playdough letters or they could make playdough raindrops to rain on a picture.
I also washed off a lid from a parmesian cheese container. Because of the circle holes on one half and the half circle on the other half, you can push it into the playdough to make shapes in the play dough (like an alien face for example).
The kids like to make playdough circle pancakes or cookies and play with Edmund's pots and pans. Today we also made snowmen out of the cookie circles and used toothpicks for arms and legs.
What do your kids do with playdough?
