We took our favourite play dough recipe and transformed it into some fun messy play, making jam tarts for the Queen of Hearts in our Valentine bakery.
The Great British Play Dough Bake Off
So, who else is addicted to The Great British Bake Off? It was my own little me-time programme – which I’d sit down and watch, with a slice of cake to accompany me – after all the children had gone to bed. But last week, B couldn’t sleep and came downstairs and found me watching GBBO. Within minutes she was hooked too, and made me promise not to watch another episode without her but instead save my viewing to watch on iplayer so she could join in too.
And then she got the idea that she could play Bake Off. But rather than using flour, sugar and yeast, wouldn’t it be just as much fun to use the other thing she’s truly passionate about….play dough! And The Great British Play Dough Bake Off was born.

Just like donut holes, you don’t want to waste the best bit! Turn them into something beautiful with this idea for hole punch art.

Play dough activities: gazillions of ideas for play dough fun!
I have enjoyed this Play Dough Pledge week so much! At home we’ve had so much fun with our Play Dough Pizza Parlour and our play dough mandalas. I loved the Play Dough Bakery idea Anna shared with us over at The Imagination Tree and the Play Dough Self Portraits Catherine shared at Sun Hats and Wellie Boots.
But the very best part of the pledge has been having so many of you join in with us. I have loved seeing the posts and photos showing your children trying something new with their play dough this week. You can see lots of them on [Read more…]
