Friday I asked my toddler’s teacher what kind of lessons she likes the most at school right now, because I am setting up some Montessori style activities for her this summer.
She told me three things: homemade play dough with flour mixing, bead stringing and paper cutting.
That evening we were making homemade pizzas so I divided up some dough for the girls, and even my seven-year-old came running to join in the fun. All sitting around the “tiny table” as my toddler calls it, they played with dough and flour for a good thirty minutes.
I had just ordered three new cutting boards and rolling pins which made three perfect play dough lessons for three girls.
For this summer, I’ll leave this lesson on our shelves as one that can be chosen at anytime.
I know just who will be picking it the most. And if she is lucky, her sisters will join her again. Because this time, I think it was her favorite part.
