Nursery play dough activities
From scratch, using raw materials or breaking out a quantity of
readymade compound, the playdough
activity plan can help practitioners to organise the resources needed,
identify the learning opportunities a chosen activity provides and how to
adapt the activity so that it encorporates and differentiates between children's
specific needs.

Uncooked dough is the perfect starter recipe for young children to get their
fingers and whole hands messy with. Naming ingredients, weighing, pouring
and mixing to combine all supports a variety of early developmental skills,
physically, socially and creatively. Make balls of dough in individual bowls
using scoops to measure flour, salt and enough water to bring the dry ingredients
together. Knead, roll and cut using a rotation of tools that enrich and alter
each day's doughy adventures!
Following children's interests as a way to support their learning is perfect
for playdough where the change-ups are unlimited. From the colour, the scent,
the texture, tools and the variety of loose media that can be applied to
body and surface of dough, to the themes of interest occuring in your setting,
for topics or events that are celebrated, playdough adapts to promote the
occasion and its participant's learning.
