If you haven’t already guessed, engaging with playdough with the kiddos that I work with is one of my favorite activities. I make my own playdough much of the time or I use the playdough that they have at home.
Special Shapes for Fall
I just wanted to show you my latest cookie cutters and cards that I’ve made for Thanksgiving and the fall season.
I found these fun shapes at the dollar store!
Talk about finding something just when you need it!
Let me back up a bit . . .
By the way, I added a lot more cinnamon than this picture shows! Oops!
Last month when I was making playdough for Halloween fun, I went a little overboard with the cinnamon in my recipe. (Great for a sensory element and it just smells so good!) Anyway, my lovely orange playdough turned quite brown. Okay, so I put it aside and started again. I didn’t want to just throw away this wonderful smelling playdough, so I put it in a plastic bag knowing that I could use it for mixing with yellow and orange to make some cool autumn leaves.
So . . . when I found the football and acorn cookie cutters at the dollar store (Dollar General) I might have squealed a little. Acorns and footballs are brown! And the pack of 4 was only $1!
