My favourite is taking all of the colours and mushing them together. Mami used to try to stop me, but she's given up.
So you can imagine my happiness when Play-Doh sent me their Three Little Pigs Fairytale creativity kit.
But if piggies aren't your thing, you can also get Little Red Riding Hood and Hansel and Gretel too. Each kit comes with Play-Doh (of course!) a small play mat in that looks like a storybook, and shapes or "moulds" of the characters. In my case, we had the shapes of the three little pigs.
That way I can read the story and act it out as we go along. I have to admit, I lost most of the Play-Doh within the first few days, but now I just use any colour and it's just as fun!
And not only that but Play-Doh is workng with the National School Partnership to help create Handy Learning teacher resource packs for schools and nurseries in the UK. Cool, right?
And because we want YOU to get your hands all over some Play-Doh, they have given me one of their latest kits to giveaway.
Ready for this? Its the Twirl n' Top Pizza Shop! (£14.99)

Cake decoration flowers: Let them dry out and used them on the cake. Quickly whipped them off as candles were blown out so no one would realise they were playdough and not marcipan.
ReplyDeleteI love Play-Doh. My Mummy called me a weirdo once, because I was playing with my dough and I rolled the it into little balls. Then I closed my eyes and squashed the gooey dough into my eye sockets so they filled up the holes. I sat there for ages, and it was all dark because I couldn't see anything through the dough. I got a bit bored, so I tried to walk around, but Mummy wouldn't let me because she said I'd walk into a wall and hurt myself. Finally she made me peel them off my eyes. Spoilsport. So I rolled some skinny Play-Doh snakes instead, and ate them while she wasn't looking. I probably would have gotten away with it too, except I had a bright orange Play-Doh ring around my mouth.
ReplyDeleteWow, these are great, and entertaining!
ReplyDeleteWe love playdoh and my little ones mash all the colours together too. We made a big green frog last time with big bug eyes. It was very cool. x
ReplyDeletewe have made some cars with wobbly wheels

I'm not that creative. I think it has to be a face with all features.

ReplyDeleteI sitll love making "worms" whilst paying Play-Doh with my 3.5 yo...
@Dorothee77
Worms are a favourite here too ;)
ReplyDeleteWe make snails and flowers
ReplyDeletewe try to create little worlds and planets that are bright and mainly occupied by dinosaurs , the best bit is squishing it and rolling it.
ReplyDeleteAll children love play doh
ReplyDeletemine love the barbers shop
watching the hair grow then cutting it off. They even made wigs for their dolls so they didn't cut their real hair!

The most imaginative thing Squeaky's made with play-doh so far is a mess in the carpet! We're working on it though, step by step. I tend to make birdies, and line them up on the windowsill.
ReplyDeleteI was around 6/7 and I made Tracy Island out of my toddler sisters playdoh,it was fierce!

thankyou
Wow, we all love play doh in our house, mum to 12, 8 and 3 year old. I once made a snail, i was very impressed with it ! It usually ends up that the kids get fed up and i'm left playing by myself, Oh happpy days, its very theraputic anyway, Helen
ReplyDeletemy daughter and i made a full seaside when she got the rainboe pack of play doh. it had a sea, dolphins, the beach with people and even an ice cream van. my daughter is now 9 but is really looking forward to building things with her little sister who is 1.

ReplyDeleteI made a garden with creepy crawlies in it and trees, plants ,etc. k.mayhead@btinternet.com
ReplyDeleteI would make a extremely long colourful snake! @anna8301
ReplyDeleteTried to make a new front room carpet once, by rolling it out and jumping on it on top of the real carpet, made a great patchwork pattern. Did not go down to well with mum, when it took ages to remove. Did I get in trouble for that.

The wackiest, craziest most creative thing I ever made with Play-Doh was strangely enough a Chicken (or what I thought looked like one) and it was certainly worth crossing the road for

ReplyDeleteUmmm we make naked bodies for a laugh lol
ReplyDeletemy little girl is only just coming into the age where she can play with playdoh and so far all we have experimented with are worms and various shapes made with the cutters that come with them!! She loves playing with it and I think when she gets a little bit older is going to love creating all sorts of weird and wonderful things with it.
ReplyDeleteI used to love playdoh when I was a little girl, but I tended to be quite compulsive about perfection, so everything had to be just right! Mum told me that I once made a little zoo with a whole lot of different animals....zebras, lions, tigers, monkeys and all in the right shape + colours!!!!
I'm afraid the most creative I could ever be was making worms or forcing hair out of the head. I can bake, sew, write, but when it comes to making something artistically wonderful that does not involve bottle tops and cardboard boxes I am completely useless!
ReplyDeleteI like to make elephants but they're quite tricky!
ReplyDelete@Isis1981uk
We make spiders webs! We love watching them grow by adding more rolled out strings of play doh!
ReplyDeletemy daughter love to make funny faces with her play doh.
ReplyDeleteI used to always make egg, bacon and sausages on a plate lol, still do. @clairelouise82
ReplyDeleteMy son (4) is obsessed with Star Wars, and wanted to dress up like Yoda. I painted his face green, and made pointy ears from green play-doh.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately they wouldn't stay on!

My daughter usually ends up with a family of snakes - not very creative I know - but she is only 2!
ReplyDeleteI am a travel agent and made the Golden Gate Bridge for a competition at work

ReplyDeleteMy son Charlie and I made a poo (at his request!) and put it in his sisters bed...I don't think she fell for it :-) @Linz_TOYT x
ReplyDeleteHmmm....most inventive thing. Well, I did make a family of snails and then tried to make a sort of little forest around with trees and flowers. It was a blooming good effort anyway!! Great giveaway, thank you!! Contact details: @fluffyblueberry on twitter! :)
