play dough puzzle

Lb* loves his playdough.

We made a fresh batch today, and after we'd made conker cakes, we came up with a new game.

We took it in turns to roll out the dough and push shells into it:


Then we carefully peeled the shells out and the other person had to fit the shells back in the right places. It was a play dough puzzle!


I think you could make a more permanent version of this game if you left the dough to dry out over a couple of nights.

*The game was accompanied by Lb singing his own version of "The Grand Old Duke of York" which basically keeps the men at the top of the hill for about half an hour.
