How to Set Up a Patriotic Play Dough Invitation to Play
Step 1: Make the play dough
Use white play dough. A snowman play dough recipe works well.
Step 2: Gather red, white and blue items
Collect star cookie cutters, pipe cleaners, plastic links, mini craft sticks and other red, white and blue pieces.

Step 3: Fill the tray
Put each item in its own section of a divided tray.
All done!
Set out the tray and let your child explore: stamp stars, link chains and build with the craft sticks.

We'd love to see yours! Snap a photo and share it in the comments.
