Do you have a play dough tool box yet?

If you have not made a play dough tool box for your child yet, ow is the perfect time. Play dough is a great way for your child to use their imagination as well work on their fine motor skills. I know both the kids in my class and my own kids love exploring with play dough.

Here are some items I like to include: cookie cutters, scissors, golf tee(for practicing writing numbers and letters), small toys (ex. dinosaur) that they can hide inside their play dough, plastic knifes, forks and spoons, bottle caps, buttons, rolling pins. I have included a link that will give you other ideas and other reasons on why a tool box is a good idea.

Depending on the size of your tool box it is also an easy activity to take with you on those family vacations. Play dough is a great activity to do in a hotel room or at a camp site when mom and dad are making dinner. Have fun, use your imagination, and think about what your child enjoys. Happy Exploring!!
