Play Doh Cactus Craft
Looking for something to do with play doh? This faux play doh cactus is easy and makes for a cute item to display!
Play doh is my favorite tool for combining play and learning. There are so many ways you can mix it up for hands on fun. I made this easy play doh cactus with my kids as a boredom buster. The results were impressive!
You will only need a few items to make these. They are perfect for those times when the kids say What can we do Mom?
Supplies:
Green play doh
A toothpick
Several rocks
A small terracotta pot
Directions for Play Doh Cactus:
Form a cactus shape from green play doh, which is a pretty broad range I know. Think about the last cactus you saw and shape it by hand. As you can see I made a bulb-ish shape.
Use a few rocks and press them into the bottom of the shape to anchor your cactus.
Make sure your shape will fit into the bottom of the small pot. I squeezed the bottom just a bit to fit.
With a toothpick,poke as many little holes in the faux cactus as you like. I made holes all over this one.
Allow to naturally dry and display.
Our faux cactus held up for about 6 weeks or so before it started to look super dry. At that time we tossed it.
