We are crazy for both play doh and rainbows so this activity was a huge hit with my daughter Harper. It was easy to set up, and gave her a chance to explore textures, express creativity, and work on her pattern making skills, with a dose of fine motor too!
Supplies:
Play Doh
Buttons in assorted colors and sizes
If you can't find white play doh, like we used, no worries, use any color your kids like!
If you don't have a jar of buttons at home, we bought this little jar of multi color buttons at Dollar Tree.
Directions:
Roll out a can of play doh.
Offer your child a pile of buttons.
Encourage your child to make a rainbow by lining up the correct color of buttons in the pattern of a rainbow.
As buttons can be a choking danger to small children, be sure to closely supervise this activity with little ones.
This was a lot of fun for Harper. We will certainly be pulling this activity out again in the coming months as an easy yet engaging boredom buster!
