Playdoh snake writing

Here is another activity that really will work better when M isa little older, but we did have a fun time with it today too.

I showed M how to roll playdoh out into skinny snakes. When we had made lots of snakes of varying sizes I took her magnadoodle and drew a large number on it. Then M and I worked together to place snakes along the lines of the number until the entire number was formed by snakes. Each time M was proud of the finished product. Fun and easy activity!

(This one also came from The Toddler Busy Book).

We've tried play dough letters, but I really like combining it with a magnadoodle for younger kids - thanks for the idea!

Never tried this, we are focusing on colors right now. Knows most but still gets confused on some. I just checked out the book and got myself a copy. Hoping to be able to do some cool things with my son! thanks!
