How it works

  1. 1

    Let's begin by exploring our materials together. Show your child the play dough and small objects. Say: 'Look at all these fun things! What can we use to make a magical creature?'

  2. 2

    Now let's make our creature's body. Encourage your child to shape the play dough. Say: 'Let's make a body for our creature! Can you roll or pat the dough to make a shape?'

  3. 3

    Time to add features! Show your child the small objects. Say: 'Our creature needs eyes, arms, or special decorations! What should we add?'

  4. 4

    Now let's talk about our creation. Ask: 'Tell me about our magical creature! What's they like? What can they do?'
