The first glance of spring has arrived. The snow has melted, the birds are chirping, and though it is still too early for flowers in bloom, we are diving into our All About Spring learning! What better place to start than with learning about flowers?!

As an early years preschool teacher, I have made & tried my fair share of homemade play dough recipes over the years; some good batches, and even more terrible ones. This particular recipe has worked great every time and has become our new go-to!
