Stamping Fun in Homemade Playdough

Stamping Words into Play Dough

Little Sweets has been asking to play with play dough for a while now. The play dough she had been using was dried out so I thought I would pick some up at Wal-mart.  They didn't have what I was looking for so we decided to make our own.  I wanted it to smell nice so I thought it would be fun to add kool-aid to the dough.  I found a great recipe for kool-aid play dough here.   Little Sweets helped me make the dough.  Then she used stamps to spell words in her play dough.  She also stamped pictures and numbers into the play dough.

This is a great activity when teaching shapes.  I cut out shapes and let my daughter stick the shapes onto contact paper.  (This is great for young children because you don't have to use glue.)  When she was finished I put piece of paper on the sticky side of the contact paper.
