Ingredients
Playdough (any color)
Toothpicks
Instructions
Use the playdough to form small balls.
Offer the playdough balls and toothpicks to your child.
Encourage them to insert a toothpick into a playdough ball and begin forming the shape you have selected to work on.
As an example, you will need 3 balls of playdough and 3 toothpicks to form the base of a triangle.
Next, insert a toothpick into each playdough ball, upright.
Add a playdough ball to the top of each toothpick.
Now, connect the playdough balls on the top layer with three more toothpicks.
This forms your 3D shape!
