Why not try making natural Play Clay at home and bring home a healthy message.
National Play-Doh Day celebrates a great childhood play toy
on September 16.
Invented in the mid 1950s, it has entertained millions of children,
and allowed them to express their creativity, both at home and in the
classroom.
The original invention was simple. A school teacher wanted a
safe modeling clay for her pre-schoolers. She asked her brother-in-law Joseph
McVicker, who worked at a chemical company, to come up with something. The
result was simple....flour, water and food coloring.
You can do the same at home -- and it is
healthier!
Check out the variety of simple play clay recipes (there
are cook and non cook, flour and corn starch recipes, and more) available
on Planetpals.com with some
ideas and patterns to help you teach healthy
living, too.
Lots of great recipes! |
