I am expecting Kira to also Observations When I was observing Kira I was watching her closely why she was playing with her play dough. We began by taking out all the play dough from out of the tube. It came as a set. She told me that she had had this from 'nanny'. This was not Kira's first time playing with this play dough. First of all I was showing her what we where going to do.

Conclusion
Give children plastic knives to cut the play dough and cookie cutters and rolling pins to roll out the dough and cut shapes. Offer this activity every day. Social skills Children can practice sharing materials. When you add dramatic play props (see below for more ideas) you can give children a chance to share their ideas and play imaginatively together. Play dough helps young children grow physically, cognitively, emotionally, and socially. There is a great deal of learning going on when children simply play with play dough Conclusion Imagination and creativity Children who are beginning to play imaginatively can turn play dough into anything. Give them birthday candles and cake toppers and encourage them to shape play dough into a cake. Dramatic play is valuable for young children: It deepens their thinking and helps them get ready for success in school. Dramatic play is even more important than teaching children letters or numbers!
