With scissors another great thing to cut besides playdough is yarn or even tape (though that's more challenging). The nice thing about a piece of yarn is that it's skinny and you can cut all the way through it in one stroke.

No matter how well I clean our scissors I think they will always have playdough stuck somewhere in them!

I'm really enjoying the centers posts. You can probably tell I'm doing a little blog catch-up right now. :)

i too like the posts, i use trays for playdough , this way less ends up on the floor and more to play with each time, also i make my own playdough in class and the kids love it and seem to respect it more when they make it because it becomes "theirs"

I am finding these Center posts quite interesting. I do agree that once the kids get used to having the paint available to use on their own, the mess becomes more manageable. Although I think that it becomes more about the teacher's mindset than anything. Once YOU get used to the paint always being there, you aren't so consciously thinking about the messy aspect of it.

I agree with you, too, that space for all this could be an issue for a lot of people. I know it is for me, and I'm only working with 6-8 kids at a time. Nothing in our environment is ever always available. We have a small space and a big age range. All our materials and experiences constantly rotate, otherwise the kids do get bored with them. I've tried to make some things always available, like paint and playdough, but it just never seems to work as well as rotating.
