The mere prospect of working from home as well as entertaining your little ones can be a bit hollowing after a point. After spending a few hours watching TV and playing with their toys, there is still plenty of time left in a day for them. In such cases, how can you keep your children engaged?
Heres an interesting art and play activity to do just that!
Did you know that you can make super-easy playdough in just six steps! And, the best part is that this all-natural playdough is non-toxic, involves no cooking, and is so simple that you can make it in no time.
Lets learn how to make playdough with flour and vegetable paints
Prep time: 10 minutes
Materials Required:
To make coloured playdough balls:
If you seal and refrigerate them, the playdough will last for 2-4 weeks.
This homemade playdough is a great way to introduce your children to various shapes, sizes, and colours. And, once they learn to make sculptures of animals, trees, fruits, or vegetables, you can preserve them too. All you have to do is bake the sculptures in an oven at 300 degrees for 30 minutes, or until they are completely dry.
