Does your little one have a birthday coming up?
Help them celebrate with a fun Birthday Cake Play Dough Activity. Set up an invitation to create with your choice of colorful playdough. Roll out a large piece of playdough and drape it over top of a Bundt cake pan or an upside-down bowl. Set out a tinker tray with small loose parts. We used bead necklaces, decorative paper straws, gems, pom poms, mini erasers, glow-in-the-dark stars, wooden numbers from a puzzle and some tiny wooden parts.
Teddy said this was “the bestest activity he’s ever seen”. Next birthday, I want to put another layer by stacking an upside-down bowl covered in a different color play dough on top! Read on for more details.
