Playdough Party Fun! 

Thank you for inviting us to the Playdough Party.  We all had a lovely time.  It was very well demonstrated and very inclusive.  We enjoyed learning how to make it and our son liked it so much he continued to play with it at home with his brother.  Thank you.

Such a lovely playdough party.  My son was sitting nicely at the table and he enjoyed playing with the dough.  He doesn't sit down for long at home so I was really impressed with him and we had such a lovely time together.  It was really fun!  Thank you. 

We really enjoyed the playdough party.  It was very well organised and useful for parents to learn a new sckill of making play dough and keeping kids engaged at home.  My daughter wants a cake party next!  Thanks.

We really enjoyed the playdough party.  All of the children and parents had great fun making the playdough and using different colours of food colouring and smells to the playdough.  It was fun being able to sit with my children doing this activity.  I very much look forward to more involvement with my daughter and her learning.  Thank you very much to all teachers, you are all wonderful!
