The babies at Stourbridge have had fun exploring play dough.
They were encouraged to feel the texture of the play dough and used a variety of different tools and their hands. They squished, squashed, rolled, poked, chopped and sniffed the dough. The staff promoted language throughout this activity as we described the the texture and colours, and demonstrated different ways to shape and explore the dough.
