I thought it would be fun to put the playdough inside of Easter Eggs for Easter. If you want to do this make sure to first add tape to the inside of the eggs. The eggs come with small holes and you want to cover them so they become air tight, this way the playdough doesn’t dry. I found these clear small 2 oz. containers in the paper plate aisle at Wal-Mart. I hope you give it a try!
Measuring play dough inchworms We spent a little time exploring inchworms this week. Of course, you can’t explore inchworms without first reading the book” Inch by Inch ” by Leo Lionni. To extend the book into our play we did a little play dough inchworm measuring… I made little rulers for my students to use. They are not an exact measurement but they got the idea across and each child got to take their rulers home at the end of the day. Our inchworms all measured out to be much longer than one inch! And this is the world’s longest inchworm but unfortunately, we didn’t get around to measuring it so you just have to take my word that it is the world’s longest inchworm… And after all the inchworm rolling and measuring, the children decided to use my measuring spoons to make prints in the play dough.
