Pond Life Play Dough Invitation
This pond life play dough invitation is a hands-on and playful way to learn about the pond habitat. It is a great addition to your pond life preschool theme!
We had lots of fun learning about the life cycle of a frog when we made this realistic pond sensory bin! Evan was still interested in learning more about pond life, so I made this fun play dough invitation for him!
He had lots of fun playing with this and it was great for fine motor practice!
Materials Needed:
Green, blue and brown play dough
Pond life animals (Frogs, fish, turtles, ducks, dragonflies, butterflies, etc.)
Stones (You can get a bag of them at the dollar store)
Toothpicks
Setting Up the Pond Life Play Dough Invitation
1. Put all of the materials in a divided tray.
Invitation to Explore Pond Life with Play Dough
Invite your child to make a pond and play with the pond life animals. It may help if you read a book about pond life or at least show you child pictures of the pond habitat before doing this.
Evan really enjoyed making Cattails with toothpicks and brown modeling clay. No pond would be complete without lily pads as well.
He added our frog life cycle toys, fish and a bunch of other toys I was able to find from our stash. I wish we had some ducks to add to our pond. Maybe next time!
He spent a lot of time getting his pond just right. I was actually pleasantly surprised by how much he liked this activity and how much fun he had!
