When tasting, smelling, seeing, hearing, touching and understanding, our senses like to tingle! With so many fragrances available, colours and tones, shapes and textures, flavours and loose media, playing with dough becomes a hugely valuable resource that can fulfil many learning and health needs of individuals across the ages. The activity ideas found on this page all focus on how dough can be used to invite play and support the 5 senses whilst knowledge is gained and shared.

Titles that will take you to Silkysteps.com are marked with a cat paw.

Please always risk assess your dough activities by knowing who will be playing with the dough and if any dietary needs, medical needs, choking or poisoning hazards exist.
