Katelyn, from Canada, sent her Robot playdoh idea. Let’s take a look at it…
What did you do?
This is a simple invitation to create that allows your child to explore different materials and get creative.
All you need is:
White, black or silver playdoh
Different items to allow the child to create such as:
Glass beads
Blocks
Googly eyes
Pipe Cleaners
Silver coins
Beads
Paper Clips
Washers
Bolts and Nuts
Anything else you have lying around
Set everything out and allow your child to create their own masterpiece.
This was a great activity that needed little direction. I told my child about what each part could be used for and then allowed him to do all the work himself
Do you have any other projects planned?
I have many ideas that I will be doing with my kiddos. I have some science experiments as well as cardboard creations coming up.
Tell the Housebound With Kids community a bit about yourself…
My name is Katelyn. I live in Canada with my 3 children and husband. My step daughter is 15 and my sons are 3 and 11 months. I share play ideas on my Instagram Zandersfunfactory.
How are you finding being housebound so far?
We are managing by doing many activities.
Do you have any tips for other parents?
Allow your children to explore different materials and offer open ended play as much as possible
Has this website and community helped you?
So many great ideas on the website.
