Snowman Salt Dough Magnets

Welcome to another edition of the 12 Months of Sensory Dough. This month is all about Salt Dough. In the winter months, we love reading the "Snowman at Night" book series. We had our first bit of snow this week. Not too much snow, but it made us excited to pull out our snowman book and inspired us to make Snowman Magnets. 

Glow in the Dark Play Dough

Welcome to another edition of the 12 Months of Sensory Dough. This month is all about Glowing Dough. This past week as I've dropped my boys off at school we've been able to see the moon off in the distance in the sky in front of us. The other day it was so big and seemed so close and my daughter leaned over to one of my son's and said, "I'm going to ask Mommy to get a big, big ladder and climb up and get the Moon for me." True story! It was pretty adorable! As I thought about our Glowing Dough challenge and our recent excitement over seeing the moon in the sky each morning, I decided to make Glow in the Dark Play Dough and combine it with moon and star cookie cutters to make our own pretend night sky.

Pumpkin Play Dough Invitation to Play

Welcome to another edition of the 12 Months of Sensory Dough. This month is all about No Cook Play Dough. With the fall season upon us, we took the opportunity to read some of our favorite pumpkin books this week and set up a Pumpkin Play Dough Invitation to Play. Using No Cook Play Dough made the set up for this activity such a breeze!

Monster Slime

Welcome to another edition of the 12 Months of Sensory Dough Series. This month is all about Slime. I took a traditional twist this month and since slime tends to remind me and my kids so much of monsters, that is exactly what we created. 

Fizzy Dough Alphabet Ocean Hunt

Welcome to another edition of the 12 Months of Sensory Dough Series. This month is all about Fizzy Dough. Do I dare say this has been our most favorite month so far? Gasp! We seriously loved it! We combined a fabulous Small World Fizzy Dough activity found at Fun at Home with Kids together with an alphabet hunt and had such a great afternoon of fun and learning! 

Ice Cream Dough---Make a Banana Split Invitation to Play

Welcome to another edition of the 12 Months of Sensory Dough Series. This month is all about Ice Cream Dough. To keep in true form with the dough and to go along with the book we read to go along with our activity, I created an invitation to play station for my daughter to make herself a pretend Banana Split. 

Small Crab World Invitation to Play with DIY Moon Sand

Welcome to another edition of the 12 Months of Sensory Dough Series. This month is all about Moon Sand. It was our first experience making moon sand and my kids loved it! We made our moon sand into a small crab world invitation to play to go along with a book we have been reading from the library. 

Making Lemon Trees with Lemon Scented Playdough

Welcome to another edition of the 12 Months of Sensory Dough Series. This month is all about Scented Dough. We discovered a fun book at the library this past week and it inspired our lemon scented playdough activity!  

Ladybug Playdough

Welcome to the third edition of the 12 Months of Sensory Dough Series. This month is all about Edible Play Dough. We have been anxious for spring to arrive and have been reading all about ladybugs this week. As a special treat, I made a batch of edible playdough and we used some sweet things to create ladybugs.

Cocoa Scented Cloud Dough...Digging for Worms Play!

Welcome to the second edition of the 12 Months of Sensory Dough Series, all about Cloud Dough. If you missed last month's post about Foam Dough, you can check it out HERE. This week we have been having a ball learning all about Earthworms.  My daughter is pretty fearless and loves hands on learning so I decided what better way to explore worms than to let her dig for them in Cocoa Scented Cloud Dough.
