Creative Play with Play-Dough

Some fun things we've added to our stash of play-dough tools lately: spaghetti (uncooked, of course!) or other kinds of pasta, googly eyes, Cheerios, popsicle cleaners, and pipecleaners.  The kids had fun making play-dough monsters/aliens the other day.  Thanks to this homemade play-dough recipe (it really is super simple to make, as long as you have cream of tartar on hand!) and this Artful Parent post, where I got the creative play ideas.  Next on our list: a play-dough volcano!
