What You Need for a Farm Playdough Tray
How to Set Up a Farm Playdough Tray
Step 1: Make the play dough
Make oatmeal play dough ahead of time. It’s easy to make and adds another texture to the tray.
Step 2: Prepare your materials
Gather the farm animals, corn kernels, buttons, crinkle paper, rolling pin and cookie cutters. Wash anything new before it goes on the tray.
Step 3: Arrange the tray
Put the play dough in the center and spread the animals and accessories in neat sections around it. Ask farm questions as they play, like “What will the pig do next?” or “Where does the cow sleep?” Kids can also sort and count the corn and buttons.
All done!
Your play dough tray is ready for play!
We'd love to see yours! Snap a photo and share it in the comments.
Storage Tips
Store leftover play dough in an airtight container, and clean and dry the tools before putting them away. Stackable trays or bins keep everything ready for next time.
