Playdough is fun for any age – toddlers to adults!  It’s also a great tool to use when learning new concepts.  Each of the links below use playdough to teach new skills to a variety of age groups, including high schoolers.

 

Playdough Geometry – Our Journey Westward
Cindy shows us how she uses playdough to practice geometry concepts.  To download the lessons she’s demonstrating, hop over to I Never Wanted to Be a Teacher.

 

Playdough with Toothpicks – Flights of Whimsy
Practice measurement, geometry, planning, and fine-motor control when rolling little balls of playdough to use with toothpicks!

 

Playdough Mosiacs – Putti’s World 
This is such a neat idea: Use those dried pieces of playdough to create art mosiacs.  Beautiful!

Playdough Planet Earth – Meet the Dubiens
Create a model of the Earth’s layers using playdough

 

Create a Playdough Tabletop Forest – The Artful Parent
Use playdough to anchor all of those pieces in a tabletop forest

 

Playdough Mazes – Squashed Tomatoes
Practice measurement, spatial recognition, and more when you create Playdough mazes.  Create a maze and see if the Lego men can find their way to the end!
