Try one of these fun summer play dough activities to inspire pretend play, work fine motor muscles, and explore different summer themes.
Kids love play dough activities. Most weeks, we have some sort of play dough invitation for kids to explore. Play dough activities are a great way to explore different classroom themes and a fun sensory activity that builds fine motor skills. Pretend play with play dough also encourages oral language development as kids talk about what they are doing and act out different scenarios.
This collection of summer play dough activities includes a ton of great ideas for summer hands-on play. You’ll find seasonal Independence Day activities and even some fun underwater and beach themed play dough activities too!
