I make my own playdough due to allergies, and I use natural dyes (we can’t have food coloring). There are lots of veggies & fruits you can cook, then use the colored cooking water instead of the plain water!

I love Thrift Stores for playdough fun! And sandbox fun actually!

We have a Cassette tape (my husband converted to CD) from when I was 9yo that my Grandmother recorded for me. Songs and stories. She died when my “big” girl was 6 months old. Daughter is now almost 6yo and it is her FAVORITE thing to listen at bed time.

I made books on tape (showing my age) when I had to leave the kids with Grandma while I went house hunting in a far away state. It seemed to help!

I was going to mention the same thing Brady. I use the Kool aide, my kids insist on it. The color isn’t as brilliant but the smell is the best.

Last year I made my son a cape and crown that he loves..this year I’m thinking play dough (his new love) and fleece dragon mitten…maybe a pirate sword and hat!

You can use a pack of kool aide in place of the dye and it makes great colors that smell really good

Jessica,
Thanks for visiting! I bet your K-g kids would love to record their OWN voices practicing their reading, too. Katie
