We had lots of fun at our after school play dough workshop. The nursery children helped their big people to make play dough! We had lots of fun and only got a bit messy!
Play dough is always a favourite area in Nursery. It is a fantastic tool for developing our finger strength and fine motor skills.
Some ideas for play dough fun at home:
- rolling, squeezing and tearing the dough
- rolling with rolling pins
- make buns with pastry cutters - can you count your buns?
- make shapes
- make pictures
- cut with scissors
- make patterns with shells, leaves and stones
- cut with knife and fork - good practice for dinner
- weigh it and feel different weights
- make roads for cars and tractors
- Form letters and numbers.
Thank you to all the children, parents, childminders, friends and big people who came along. We hope you had fun!
