Playdough is always a hit when CBAL program facilitator Julie Poetsch brings it out at the Parent and Child Time program in Balfour. This is the recipe that Julie uses - it’s easy to make and will last for several months if stored in an air tight container in the fridge.
Playdough is great to make with children over the holiday season. Playing with playdough helps children learn about colour, shape, size, and texture. It also develops eye-hand coordination, small muscle control and provides hours of free fun!
Mix the dry ingredients together. Mix the wet ingredients together. Combine the wet and dry ingredients and knead until the dough is smooth.
