Orange Scented Natural Play Dough
This is how I set up an invitation to explore with orange scented natural dough. To me it was a fun set up for toddlers and we were able to work on shapes and the color orange. So we really brought many learning opportunities into this fun activity.
Not only do they get to use their sense of touch, they get to use their sense of smell with this play dough.
The best part of this activity was sitting back and watching the children explore and enjoy this scented dough. I highly suggest you try out scented dough with your children. I am sure they will love it.

April 23, 2015 at 8:42 pmHow old is your little girl here? She still looks like a baby here! And now she’s all grown and pretty! We used to make playdough too but with the little boy here who’s everywhere in the house now, I just had to halt those DIY stuff LOL. But I would love to try this and make the playdough with the boys once Vito is cooperative already. Thanks for sharing!!

April 21, 2015 at 4:56 pmJust made a batch of this! I’m sure my kids will love it. About how long can I expect it to last, since it has fresh orange in it? Also, how do you recommend storing it (fridge, etc.)?
