How to Make Playdough Batman Lego Tutorial
When I was an early years teacher, I remember making playdough every day before the children arrived. I became pretty expert at this by the time my daughter Sylvia was born. Today we have a fantastic Batman Lego Playdough tutorial.
Playdough is a really great activity that can help children not only to explore and have fun but to learn and develop. There can be many opportunities to develop imagination, ideas, fine motor skills, and speech skills whilst playing with playdough.
You can even use playdough to teach maths and science, by counting and measuring ingredients and mixing colours. There are so many opportunities to teach kids with playdough, it’s truly fantastic. So here goes. I hope you enjoy this tutorial and enjoy creating your own playdough.

Add more colour, if necessary, until you achieve your desired shade of purple.
Add 1/2 teaspoon of green food gel into the second bowl. Knead until the colour is evenly distributed.
Add more colour, if necessary and knead again until well mixed.
Add 1/2 teaspoon of red food gel into the remaining bowl. Knead until the colour is evenly distributed.
Add more colour, if needed, and knead until you obtain your desired shade of red.

This is so awesome! My daughter would love to do this. We actually saw The Batman Lego Movie and really enjoyed it.
I love that this recipe is made entirely from edible things too, so you can do this with small children and not have to worry about them sticking their hands in their mouths. I’m going to forward this on to my brother and his family – they have a toddler who would probably love this!
Woww i love DIY’s and am gonna make this for sure …my son will love it
I didn’t realise that making playdough was so easy! I used to love the smell of playdough when I was little 🙂
It is really super easy. I like the smell played too. I’m not so keen on the feel of the oil.
I always made playdough with my kids when they were little and when I was a childcare provider. I think homemade playdough is so much nicer than store-bought playdough, the texture is much softer and more pliable and you can add scents too, which I think is so much fun!
it last a lot longer toO.
