Story Dough!
If you haven't yet encountered Story Dough!, prepare to dive into an exhilarating world of creativity and connection, championed by the passionate Greg Bottrill. He believes in a playful approach to childhood education—where learning is done with children, not to them. His philosophy is steeped in joy, adventure, marvel, and play, all of which are essential not just for children but for adults too.
Story Dough! is a delightful immersion into the enchanting realm of story dreaming, tailored for small groups of children as young as two. It works best as a spontaneous 'pop-up' activity throughout the day, allowing you to sprinkle in some joy whenever you fancy.
Using playdough as your medium, Story Dough! opens the door to a fantastical landscape filled with nonsense, rhyme, delicious vocabulary, and imaginative mark-making. It encourages children to explore mathematics and storytelling in a way that feels limitless and thrilling.
Simplicity is at the heart of Story Dough!, requiring only ten minutes to share—just ten incredible minutes overflowing with joy, adventure, and magic! While it's ideally suited for two to six-year-olds, older children can also join in the fun with a bit of imagination. Plus, it's a fantastic precursor to drawing club. Dive in, and let the adventure begin!
