What is Sensory Dough?
If you are like me, you might not feel confident in your sensory dough abilities. Maybe you see the pictures on Pinterest and drool but when you make the doughs they never seem to turn out… Have no fear…
This series will digs into each of the “top” sensory doughs. Each co-hosts has a special twist and spin that they put on the doughs, so be sure to check out and follow each host!
If you are a blogger, we would love for you to link up your dough! Linkies are open year-round and we will be adding more for the second year in a row!
For teachers, caregivers or anyone that just loves sensory doughs, this is a great place to hop around, get ideas, and find inspiration to try a different dough each month. We would love for you to share on Facebook or Instagram, just tag your post with #ilovesensorydough
The linky will remain open for all year. On the 12th of each month, all co-hosts will post a new dough with their spin, highlighting at least one post from the month before and pin each post to the 12 Months of Sensory Dough Board.

The Life of Jennifer Dawn
As a busy mother of three, I’m always looking for fun, educational activities that can be done with things readily found around the house. I love coming up with dough recipes that use ingredients commonly found in the kitchen like my favorite–oatmeal dough!
I’m looking forward to this series, both for the new dough recipes and for meeting the new bloggers. Great idea!
Thank you! I look forward to meeting you during this series and can’t wait to see what you post! Feel free to add the button to your posts and share away!

I agree. I am so excited and can’t wait to see everyones and see the pinterest board build! 🙂
So excited to be joining in (from the sidelines) for this series. There are so many doughs on this list that I haven’t tried before. Just made our first batch of Foam Dough the other day! Yay!
We are excited you are joining as well. I look forward to seeing what you post!
We can’t wait!
Neither can we. I am counting down the days. Isn’t that crazy? I am so excited to see everyone’s spin at one time and then to see the Pinterest board of great ideas.
I have never made a dough before! Excited to try one each month!
Silly question….where do we get the recipe? Just search for our own online? Or do we wait until the 12th when it is posted?
We are excited to have you! If you click on the pinterest board there are some recipes that have been pinned from bloggers I know are amazing.
We are on the dough thing too. I will be joining along! Very good idea about the series!
Fantastic! I can’t wait to see your post! I am loving your site!
Sensory Dough is a great deal of fun! I can’t wait to follow along with this series.
