Using Playdough in school

Recently we had a small homeschool mom get together to encourage others, and we had a play dough party.
It was a lot of fun and there was lots of great ideas on how to use it in our school work and just for fun activity.

This link talks about using it with the reading of a book and making things out of the play dough as we are reading.

I liked the idea of this one, form in letters out of the dough, making upper and lower case letters.

This one is one I am looking forward to using this coming week. You rolled out some dough and using letter cookie cutters, you make letters and practice spelling words.
