While some may find this surprising, play dough has a wide array of developmental, learning, and sensory benefits for kids.

This is why play dough is a staple in almost every early childhood classroom.

Its versatility makes play dough one of those items that should be part of every childhood.

For this activity, we used play dough to hone our cutting skills!

We did this by creating snakes out of play dough and then using play dough scissors to cut them!

Because snakes are prevalent in any desert, they fit in perfect with our Desert Animal Week!
