They make a mess and the dog eats the play doh. Dd2 still tries to eat random stuff! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-play-doh#post-2572399 Wed, 22 Jun 2016 15:15:39 +0000 snowjewelz 2572399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@magnoliamama42: yeah, i usually use construction paper and i put them on top of a mat.... when they're new they are super wet! DD doesn't really get them on her clothes; more just all over her hands. I usually have her bib on hand tho. She isn't painting or anything so I haven't really bought art smocks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-play-doh#post-2572396 Wed, 22 Jun 2016 15:13:46 +0000 magnoliamama42 2572396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: For the markers - do you have to use a special heavy weight paper for those so it doesn't bleed through? Also, do you use smocks or something to cover clothing? These look like so much fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-play-doh#post-2572349 Wed, 22 Jun 2016 14:24:34 +0000 catomd00 2572349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>15 months maybe? She's never been a huge fan. That's an activity for grandma or the sitters house! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-play-doh#post-2572344 Wed, 22 Jun 2016 14:19:31 +0000 edelweiss 2572344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we tried a few times around 2 but he kept putting the play doh in his mouth and i got tired of taking it out--it became a discipline issue and not worth the stress. at 2.5 he was better. now at 3.5 he likes it, but doesn't play with it for very long. he doesn't play for very long with anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-play-doh#post-2572261 Wed, 22 Jun 2016 13:32:25 +0000 jhd 2572261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I made him some homemade play do last summer when he was about 14 months. He didn't really like playing with it! We may try again this summer. I prefer playing outside on the deck so there's not much clean up! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-play-doh#post-2572256 Wed, 22 Jun 2016 13:30:18 +0000 FaithFertility 2572256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@stargal: mine licks it and says "Mmmm!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-play-doh#post-2572254 Wed, 22 Jun 2016 13:29:45 +0000 rattles 2572254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first didn't play with it until 2, but my 19 month old has been obsessed with it for a couple of months now. She doesn't try to eat it, and I figure it's good for fine motor skills. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-play-doh#post-2572207 Wed, 22 Jun 2016 13:07:04 +0000 sorrycharlie 2572207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: totally reminds me of bingo dobbers lol!

I made a batch, smushed it into a table and gave my son penne pasta to stick into it, since he wouldn't touch it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-play-doh#post-2572143 Wed, 22 Jun 2016 12:27:59 +0000 sorrycharlie 2572143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: Bao just mentioned those markers! Are they like bingo dobbers? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-play-doh#post-2572056 Wed, 22 Jun 2016 11:20:39 +0000 dolphin 2572056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A little over 2. She was obsessed the first time she played with it. It was the first thing she wanted to play with in the morning and can sit and play play-doh for hours. Now at 3.5 she still likes it but doesn't play with it as long. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-play-doh#post-2572041 Wed, 22 Jun 2016 10:56:30 +0000 snowjewelz 2572041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have an 18 mo old; I don't have any at home but she's not that interested when she goes to her cousin's house that has it. She is mostly into drawing &amp; love those dot markers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-play-doh#post-2572035 Wed, 22 Jun 2016 10:42:23 +0000 sorrycharlie 2572035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think my older daughter was somewhere around 2.5. I tried closer to 2, but she had no interest in it and was kind of grossed out by it. At almost 4, she's obsessed now!</p> <p>I want to start letting my 1.5 year old do some "arts and crafts" with us but she samples everythingggg, so play doh will be awhile out for her, I think. Unless I make some of the edible stuff, but I don't know which recipes work! </p>
