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 lump on the tray and gently press four sides to make a square.
- Trace the edges with a finger and count the corners together.
- Change the shape into a round pretend pumpkin and compare its outline.
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.
