Travel Play Dough Mats

We LOVE these mats for when we are out to dinner and need to hold CP until the food arrives. They are also fun in the car and of course around the house. I can stick CP in his high chair while I am making dinner, doing laundry, or trying to vacuum. 




~ Print various activity pages off of a great website that your child may enjoy.
~ CP loves animals and transportation, so many of our pages include items geared toward his interests.
~ You can use store purchased play dough or make your own. In an earlier post, you can find 10 different homemade dough recipes.
~ Ring clips are found in the office supply aisle and Target or similar stores.
~ Use a three hole punch with the middle punch removed (or however you want to connect them).
Laminate each page to make it last a LONG time. Laminaters can be found at WalMart for about $30 or any office supply store - this one was about $40. 5mm plastic covers work the best and are more sturdy that then 3mm.
A jumbo sized ziplock bag will hold a few small play dough containers and the 8x11 placemats you made.
