Playdough Aliens
|
I’m fortunate to have a very gifted preschool teacher as a friend. She asked how my day was. I rambled on about what a disaster my planned activity with the kids today turned out to be. The phrase, “What was I thinking?!” was repeated many times throughout our conversation. She reminded me of the KISS principle – Keep it Short & Simple.
Playdough Aliens is KISS to its core.
Materials:
Playdough (2 months later, our original cooked playdough is still going strong!)
Big googly eyes
Coloured matchsticks
Fuzzy pipe cleaners
I love it.
The kids love it.
You’ll love it.
KISS
N&M: 3 years, 8 months
E: 1 year, 7 months
