How to join in the Play Dough Play Date
Take the Play Dough Pledge with us and promise to try a new kind of play dough play with your kids this week.
Never made your own play dough before? Now’s your chance! {Print off Catherine’s Play Dough Recipe to get you started and take a look at Anna’s video showing how to make a fabulous no cook version.}
Stuck with the same old cookie cutters and rolling pins? Time to ring the changes! {Take a look at the ideas on our Play Dough Pinterest board}
Wondering how to add in imaginary play, maths or language activities into your play dough sessions? Give it a try this week!
Anna, Catherine and I will be sharing a whole fiesta of play dough ideas this week, to celebrate the wonder of play dough and inspire you to give your play a little extra pizazz. We have some new ideas for you and we’ll be sharing some favourite ideas from our archives too. And the week will end with a grand finale when the international kid bloggers will be joining in to share all their best play dough ideas with you too. I Can Not Wait!!
When is the Play Dough Pledge happening?
Right now and all the way through until Saturday 16th June. You’ll need to stop by Nurturestore, The Imagination Tree and Sun Hats and Wellie Boots every day to see the daily ideas. On Saturday 16th June we will be hosting a linky party so if you are a blogger please come along and link up some of your own favourite play dough posts and together we can build an enormous resource of marvellous play dough play ideas.
Where is the play date taking place?
Daily posts will be published on our blogs, so make sure you stop by to see them all.

I am taking the play dough pledge this week:)
We’ll be taking the playdough challenge (once everyone is up from their nap!)
Ohhhhh I’m looking forward to this and am totally taking the playdough pledge!
Today we made mint chocolate playdough, we’ll be making cupcakes with it later with sequins and candles – you inspired me for that! I have alphabet cookie cutters so we can have a play with them one day, and if I manage to make some suitably grainy playdough (any suggestions how to?) I feel a need to build little sandcastles using a little plastic shot glass I have lying around!
Hi Jeni! Sounds like you are certainly rising to the Play Dough Pledge challenge! To make grainy play dough I would first make a batch of ordinary play dough and then mix in some actual sand. If you add it in the original recipe I think it will make the play dough too dry and crumbly but you should be OK mixing some in afterwards. What a great extra sensory element to add. We’d love to see some photos of your castles 🙂
We are taking the pledge! What a fun idea. 🙂
We’re taking the pledge! We are going to try some nature playdough by putting nature bits into ours! I can’t wait to read the A-Z post!!!
We’re taking the pledge! My Little Miss had her 4th birthday mermaid bash on Saturday so I think a sandy playdough with sea shells, ribbon, pails, sand dollars & starfish will be over the top fun on her actual birthday (tomorrow). Can’t wait (:
Cathy your ebook is amazing! Full of so many great ideas! I’ve shared it previously with friends & it’s inspired so much play!:-)
I’ll take the pledge… for next week! This week we’re paper-crafting, but next week is still free. I can’t wait!
We’ll be taking the challenge and trying out the Jello play dough that’s all over Pinterest! I’m excited to see how it feels and smells.
Shared on pinterest! This is so much fun!
I am taking the play dough challenge!
We are taking the play dough challenge! This week we made homemade play dough for the first time (coconut and lime scented no less!) and we used some new (to us) tools with it as well. Can’t wait to share soon. 🙂
Hi! We’re making it today!
Just took the pledge after we played (hope that still counts). Will post about it tomorrow on blog.
I am so excited about this and can’t wait to try something new. I am either going to try the space play dough, mystery play dough or make play dough with children in my class.
Play dough is one of our favorite activities. I’ve been wanting to make some aromatherapy kind, though. I think we’ll try that this week.
We almost always use essential oils in our playdough.. lavender or peppermint. Myabe we should branch out a bit…..
I am a family day care educator and along with all my children we take the playdough pledge
We took the pledge and made play dough dung favors for our upcoming safari birthday party. I’m loving all the fun play dough ideas that have been posted this week.
