Playing is fun and learning can be too!

Play Dough Mazes!

Age 3+, Age 4+, Age 5+, Games, loose parts

Play dough mazes! All you need for this activity is play dough, a ping pong ball and a straw. First the kids had to roll the play dough out like a snake which is great for strengthening their fine motors. Then they had to figure out how to get their ball out of the maze using a straw. We talked about how blowing the air from the straw makes the ball move. How if we blow air on one side of the ball which way does the ball move. AGES 3+
