Play-dough play with Minimal Preparation

I’m starting the first post of the new year 2022 with 4 minimal-prep play ideas.

The one main material we are gonna use is play-dough.

Play-dough is always fun and so versatile.

If you don’t have any at home, you should buy some and keep them at home for sure.

I sometimes make homemade play-dough and use it for many times, but the store-bought ones can definitely be kept longer without worries.

The 4 ideas that I’m sharing in the video are made to help moms who are working from home and who need focus time.

Alright, let’s watch the video!

Materials

How To

1.Play-dough with Shape Drawing

– Fill different shapes with play-dough.

2. Play-dough with Shape Drawing and a Bottle Cap

– Make circles with a bottle cap and fill the shapes with your play-dough circles.

3. Play-dough with Letters

– Make balls with play-dough and have fun squashing them down with fingers or letters (letter beads / letter stamps / letter tiles / etc.)

– Printed templates will make the play much more fun and smooth for this one.

(Watch the video to see the templates.)

4. Play-dough with Thick Straws and Q-tips

– Fill a short thick straw with play-dough and push the play-dough out of the straw by putting a Q-tip into the straw.

Things To Remember

▸ Do them in order.

▸ Use a tray.

▸ Remember that independent play takes practice.

Happy learning and quality time!
