3 reasons why I make my own playdough!
1. They help me make it which is great for passing time, helps with the hand/eye coordination, improves dexterity in their hands and fingers (which are critical areas of physical development for writing later on), and is always super exciting for them!
.
2. It's taste-safe for the smaller peeps! I still don't let them eat it, obviously, but it doesn't give me that momentary panic "oh my gosh, spit that out!!" the way store bought playdough does.
.
3. It's good quality time. I actually hate cooking with my kids in the kitchen. I know a lot of people highly recommend it, and enjoy it, but I really dislike anyone being in the kitchen when I am busy. It's "my space". This seems a fair compromise for me in that aspect because I'm not in a hurry to make the playdough and I can focus on letting them be in charge of the process. It's a win/win!
Thoughts? P.S. How cute is this little D.I.Y. pizza?
