Play-dough is so versatile, fun and great as a sensory play component. And it gets even more fun with an addition of these DIY PLAY-DOUGH STAMPS, which are super easy and exciting to make!
Kids take a huge part in making these stamps by drawing their desired designs, pictures and objects and all the parent does is trace them over with a hot glue gun. Ta-da!
These Diy Play-dough Stamps are awesome for childs’ creativity! Try coming up with several different objects (like car, house, sun, cloud, plane, truck, bus, tree, bush, kite, bird, stop sign, etc.) and stamping them all onto a large piece of play-dough, all in their right spots to create a beautiful, stamped story scene!
