Playdough Play Pack: Supporting the adult in play

Move beyond “make a snake” and into meaningful, language-rich play.

Your most powerful resources in your setting are the adults. This pack empowers your team to join playdough play with confidence, knowing what to say, when to step in and how to develop language without taking over.

No instructions. No expectations. Just real play.

This pack includes:

1 adult support sheet (what to notice, say and do)
2 inspiration sheets (open-ended, not to instruct children to copy)

Designed to help children talk more, think more and stay engaged by focusing on the process, not the product.

Please consider printing this resource on card or placing it in a reusable wallet instead of laminating. ♻️
