How to Make Easter Playdough

To begin, I mixed up a batch of my quick playdough recipe.  I was in the mood for pink,  I added pink food coloring.

After preparing the batch of playdough, I added some Easter grass to create a unique texture in the dough.  I started by cutting the pink Easter grass into smaller pieces.  Let your kids help with the grass cutting.  I bet they will love it.

Here are some open-ended questions for your kids as they mix in the grass.

  • What happens when you mixed in the grass?
  • Did you notice any changes in the playdough when you added the grass?
  • How did it feel in the beginning?  What do you notice about how it feels now?
  • What happens when you pull the dough apart into two pieces?
