playdough for each child (the size of a tennis ball)

for sculpting (ie. popsicle sticks, etc.)

children to create a dinosaur using their playdough
- warm playdough
by squeezing in hands
- show children
how to roll a ball shape
- demonstrate
how to make a ‘snake’ shape with playdough
- show children
how to blend their playdough parts together for strength and smoothness
- younger children
will tend to build 2-dimensional or flat shapes on the table surface
(like a picture)

child’s initials in the playdough using the pencil before allowing
