Preschool & Toddler Earth Day Play Dough
The thing I love about incorporating play into learning is it really can work for so many ages. So we started with our layers of Earth poster and a couple of fun books. A couple of our favorites for Earth Day and little one’s are Michael Recycle
and The Three R’s
. This is a great way to help bring awareness to toddlers and preschoolers, aside from of course making them an actual part in recycling and getting them involved. After we did some reading about the Earth we were ready to play. So I made a batch of our play dough recipe and we explored the Earth.
I hope you have the chance to make up a batch of Earth Day Play dough.Recipe:
2 Tbsp oil
The easy way is to make two separate batches of this recipe, adding green Wilton gel(icing colors) into one batch and blue Wilton gel into the other.
