Playdough is a good old fashioned activity, that can provide hours of fun. I remember as a child, the joy of new playdough, I loved choosing the colour I wanted! Yesterday we made a fresh batch of dough. I divided it into six pieces, making each piece a different colour. The girls loved the sculptural options all the colours provided.  Very inspiring, and beautiful, our rainbow of dough! It is a good lesson on mixing colours too, as in time the dough no doubt will become one (brown) mass.
