Combine my natural play dough recipe, loose parts, and a free bird puppet printable to explore how birds make nests, and enjoy some bird-themed sensory and imaginary play.
Bird Play Dough with Printable Birds
Bird Play Dough with Printable Birds
Pair up play dough with a few accessories to make birds and nests. You can use this for sensory play, storytelling/imaginary play, and to investigate the science of how to build a nest.
For this investigation to play you can offer:
:: play dough, whether store-bought or home homemade (here’s my favourite recipe)
:: birds – you can use homemade birds, store bought (you’ll find lots of little chicks in gift stores around this time of year, and Safari Toobs have more realistic bird sets ) or use the bird puppets printable that comes in my Eggs and Birds Unit. You can also make your own birds out of the play dough
:: nest building materials – twigs, feathers, straw, grass, moss
:: plastic eggs
:: bird seed
