St. Patrick’s Day is such a fun holiday. It’s a great theme for playdough activities.
You can set up a Montessori-inspired playdough activity on a tray or as a separate playdough table. For ideas on creating Montessori-inspired playdough activities in general, see my original playdough roundup: Montessori-Inspired Playdough Activities 101.
Following are some fun ideas for Montessori-inspired playdough activities with a St. Patrick’s Day theme.
