According to Wikipedia "Play-Doh" debuted on the children's toy market in the mid 1950's. That means there are potentially three generations of Play-Doh users out there!!
Who doesn't love Play-Doh? now that I am home with Bea during the day, we play with it at least 2-3 times a week. We make snakes, pancakes, model dogs, pigs, cows, you name it! This week, as I was rolling out a pancake I realized the colors that Play-Doh has created are actually really great! What could I make with these great colors? Play-Doh jewelry of course! :)
So, I grabbed a few supplies...
And we rolled up our sleeves...
Bea mostly made "snakes" but I made some very small balls and used my needle to put a hole through them... voila, Play-Doh Beads!!
Next step is to let them dry for up to 48 hours. Then pick out some embroidery floss in fun colors and string with knots between...
I decided to make this one a necklace...
Use materials you have around at home, make the hole a little bigger and string on satin ribbon!
Way better than the noodle necklaces that usually come home from pre-school!!
