Playdough activity ideas for children and adults Playdough holly berries is a dough ball rolling activity helping to support children's fine motor skills and their familiarity with numbers and counting. It's also a nice way to open conversation about the season and the foods that birds seek out at this time of year. Mould and sculpt beads of varying size and trail them through a shallow tray of sparkly glitter before decorating a personal or illustrated holly tree as below. Use the trees as sorting and collection points, adding numbered discs as labels that identify a quantity required or a total reached.
