Product Review: The Homemade Play Dough Recipe Book

I would love to share with you a review for a brand new e-book written by Cathy James from Nurture Store, The Homemade Play Dough Recipe Book. Filled with amazing photos the books pulls you in to try some of the fun and exciting ideas that take minutes to put together. 

The Homemade Play Dough Recipe Book is packed full of idea's on how to inspire and stretch children's imagination through the world of play dough. The book offer a range of activities to help support all areas of development for children up to the age of around 10. 

Cathy shares seven basic play dough recipes which are quick and easy to put together. The recipes are then used through out her book to show how versatile play dough can be and there are enough ideas to last a whole year! The book is easy to navigate your way round and the bright a vibrant photo's mean that your children could help pick an idea they would like to try each week. 

We had great fun this weekend trying out Cathy's no-cook play dough recipe which took less then two minutes to put together. The children choose to add drinking straw's when scrolling through the e-book for ideas so they sat cutting the straws into different sizes while I made up the play dough. 

The children and even daddy had great fun thinking up ideas on how to use the play dough and straws. Jumping from one idea to the next the activity lasted roughly 45 minutes.  Here are some of the things that we made:

A porcupine. This originally started off as a sheep but P was keen to use a lot more straws she she changed it into a Porcupine. 

A racing car. We had a competition to see who could make the best racing car and I must admit P won by miles compared to my car. This is P's above she placed straws through the play dough shaped car to attach the wheels and even the spoiler is connected with straws. 

A stick insect, this is daddy's piece of art. 

There are so many idea's in this book that I can not wait to try with the children. Once I am back up and running as a childminder it will also be a get tool to have at hand for planning activities or spontaneous play. 

The Homemade Play Dough Recipe Book is available to purchase from the Nurture Store site for just $8.99.
