I was at the store the day after Halloween and they had some Mr. Potato head type face parts on a super sale. They were parts made to stick into a pumpkin to decorate. I thought they would work really well with play dough.
I took the face parts and dumped them onto the table and let the kids explore their play dough. They made some amazing faces and it was a lot of fun. I am so glad to have picked these parts up for so cheep. If you see them in your area, they are worth picking up.
Love this idea! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteOh wow that looks like fun! This would be great with mr. potato head pieces and I have NEVER thought about that. Thanks for sharing! Very clever!
