Easy playdoh recipe!! The one we use at preschool.
We use boiling water rather than cooking on the hob…. Works the same.
You can add herbs/spices/flavourings to give it a scent as well.
Easy cheap activity that will keep them entertained for hours!
Just pop it in a sealed box/bag in the fridge when you’ve finished 😊

Food for thought:

Using screens to help your child wind down. Choosing shows that calm and have positive affirmations.
Limiting time on screens so it’s purposeful.

Too much screen time can overwhelm a toddler, leaving them cranky and uninterested in other activities. When they do get TV time, make sure to try these shows, which entertain kids with gentle pacing, lo-fi animation, and heartwarming messages.
