Most kids love to play with play dough. There's something about being able to squish something - it's almost like playing with food!

If you don't have time to run to the store to buy some, why not make your own? Here's a whole list of recipes for how to make your own play dough. They have edible recipes, such as oatmeal or peanut butter play dough, as well as cooked and uncooked recipes. I like to make my own, because then I know what is in it and I don't get upset if it ends up in my daughter's mouth!

This is a great activity for those days you are stuck inside because of the rain or the heat. - Trisha
