The BEST Play Dough Recipe

Play dough is such a wonderful activity for toddlers:

• It provides a wonderful sensory experience
• It encourages creativity
• It’s also a calming activity for children

We also prefer to use natural wood tools with our homemade playdough.

The feeling of a natural material, like wood, adds to the sensory experience.
