Start off with a few batches of homemade or store-bought playdough. We have a super easy no-cook playdough recipe that can be made in a stand mixer or, if you'd prefer, we also have a one-pot stovetop playdough recipe.

Then, while the kiddos start to sink their fingers into their squishy soft playdough, you can enjoy watching them play, doing some online grocery shopping, or sipping on that warmish cup of coffee or tea.

I love watching what the kids come up with! They'll spend hours creatively playing!

Playdough often turns into practicing spelling, sorting colors, reading books, imaginative play, and more! I can't recommend creating your own playdough invitations to play enough - they are one of our favorite activities!
