Praise for this book
This activity book contains so many different recipes for play dough and slime; you are sure to have the ingredients on hand. Illustrated with colourful pictures, and well organized so you can find the recipe that's right for your child's needs. I love that the author, an experienced Montessori teacher, includes a section of activities that encourage learning through play, developing fine motor skills, understanding patterns and shapes, having fun with games and cultivating sensory awareness.
I love the layout of this book. Its organized well and includes recipes for different situations and needs. It has non-toxic recipes for young children that may get the dough in their mouths or want to taste it (taste is sensory too). The recipes also include different smells like cinnamon coffee and coconut. There are recipes that I never even thought of as well, like Cloud dough, Sawdust dough and Sand dough. There are also recipes for Mud and Slime. I haven't tried any though but me and my two sensory averse boys are going to try ALL of them!
What a very useful and practical book for any person looking for creative and different ideas to help with creative sensory play. I could never have dreamed up all those amazing different play dough recipes. Loved the ideas and have had great fun in trying out some of the recipes. The peanut butter one is a favourite already ….. I wonder why.
Super book filled with great fun ideas for sensory play that won’t have you become board after 5 mins.
