Here are 5 recipes for kids clay dough and playdough for modeling their favorite fun creative ideas.
I prefer the last one written for ornaments and the one I used here today.
They love to mold penguins and dinosaurs and with these recipes, these will get their creative juices flowing for hours.
They are all fun and easy to work with the kids who love to mold and cut shapes using playdough.
Perfect for them to give mom and dad gifts for Christmas gifts for a fun low-cost day.
Air-dried clay, baked clay, or playdough even made with Koolaid we have fun that awaits you.
Just invest in a few items from any dollar store and get creative to paint and decorate.
