Open interactive activity →Add to play journal →What you need
One large lump of age-appropriate playdough and a clean tray.
Age: 3–5 years; choose for the individual child.
Let's make it happen
- Flatten the large lump on the tray as a pretend lemonade stand.
- Press a fingertip into it three times to make pretend lemons.
- Point to each mark while counting, then smooth the dough and choose another number.
Adult checks ingredients and age guidance for allergies and suitability, stays beside the child, and prevents tasting; keep the dough in one large piece and wash hands afterward.
