Playdough is a safe and soothing material and provides children with a great sense of security – it cannot be ‘done wrong’ and is a satisfying sensory experience.
Collect natural materials with your child that can be used in play with your dough. Leaves, feathers, string, shells and stones can get the imagination flowing and keep your little one entertained for hours!
