You’re invited to bring your playdough to a really fun playtime. Here's our routine:

1. Start with a show and tell. Everyone is invited to bring something special to share with the class each week.

2. Warm up fingers and hands with a fun musical "dance with your playdough" activity.

3. Practice making simple shapes, lines and learn basic techniques.

4. Free Play: Learners can design anything they like out of their dough. Each week we will center our play around a new theme. However, children are free to play along however they like. We play, chat, and have lots of fun while interacting with each other during our playtime.

5. Take turns sharing one final playdough creation and say goodbyes.

Notes:
I use a second camera to model making shapes and designs so everyone can follow along with a close up look. Imagination and creativity are highly encouraged.  Everyone gets turns being spotlighted to share their creations.

Students will need to bring play dough of any colors to the lesson. Feel free to bring playdough tools and small toys to incorporate into your play. I will post a recipe in the classroom if you would like to make your own playdough.

Drop-ins and enrolled siblings are always welcome to join in the fun.
