I'm looking for ways to encourage my child's creative play with Play-Doh. What open-ended activities can we play?

• For sensory exploration, try activities like Playdoh "Soup," in which your child can use various safe objects to create imaginative concoctions, or the Texture Surprise Box, in which they explore different textures blindfolded and then express their feelings with Play-Doh.

• Activities that encourage storytelling and imagination include making a Play-Doh World with loose parts and participating in a Storytelling Relay, in which each participant adds to a story using Play-Doh creations.

• Challenges and collaboration can also be encouraged through Blindfolded Sculpting, a fun way to test communication skills and creativity, or a Collaborative Mural, in which everyone contributes to a large artwork using different colors of Play-Doh.
