My Project

My students LOVE doing a soft start to the day with our morning tubs. One of their favorite things to do during that time is to play with Play-Doh. Of course, that is the one tub of things that does not LAST FOREVER. The Play-Doh that I got for them at the beginning of the year has started to dry out and we need a middle-of-the-year refresh. Please help me replenish my class set of Play-Doh for my kiddos to continue their creativity first thing in the morning!
