how to play
Divide the children into small groups of 4-5. Begin with a story, such as creating a miniature farm, jungle, or market to help tiny creatures live happily, to spark imagination. Provide each group with dough in different colors and encourage them to shape fruits, vegetables, animals, or natural elements like trees and rivers. Challenge them to be creative while paying attention to details and proportions. If children struggle, give hints such as: How can you combine colors to make something new? What shape will make your animal look more realistic? Allow enough time for sculpting, sharing, and displaying their creations, helping children develop fine motor skills, creativity, and understanding of the world around them through playful hands-on learning.
