Hi, I thought that this new teacher-seller website might interest you. They are based in Canada and offer features that are not found on similar sites. They also have a lot of new features coming. Here is a link: <a href="http://goo.gl/PljfA0">Created by Teachers, Exclusively for Teachers</a>

These are such a good idea. Children love playing with play dough, and it helps them develop in several important domains. I love that they are able to learn while they get to play. They won't even notice that they are learning while they are playing. It is a win win situation for a teacher!
