PLAYDOH DESSERT BOX


If you ever see “Playdoh” in the title of one of our posts, you can bet it was a wild morning that called from some sensory play! Playdoh – the ultimate game changer.

Take a look at the dessert box the girls created, filled up with yummy goodies!



WHAT YOU NEED:

  • a box from the recycling bin! (our is from our new letterboard)

HOW TO MAKE:
