How to make a necklace with Play-Doh | BFF necklace with Play-Doh

Hi!I will show you how you can make an easy necklace with Play -Doh

Play-Doh modeling compound holds an endless array of creative possibilities! Little hands can roll, twist and shape these colors into any form that strikes their fancies, then mash them up and start all over
Squishing, rolling, sculpting, molding . . . young children love to play with play-doh. Add some props from around the home and play-doh play becomes a powerful way to support your child’s learning. This simple preschool staple lets children use their imaginations and strengthen the small muscles in their fingers—the same muscles they will one day use to hold a pencil and write. Using play doh with you, a friend, or siblings supports your child’s social skills such as sharing, taking turns, and enjoying being with other people. Play doh also encourages children’s language and literacy, science, and math skills—all at the same time! Homemade or out of a can, play doh can provide hours of fun and learning at home. Besides the play doh, all you need are a clear surface, a few household items, and lots of time for fun

Older preschoolers—say, 4- or 5-year-olds—often make detailed playdough creations. With one or more friends, they may imagine themselves to be construction workers building a highway, prehistoric hunters pursuing a woolly mammoth, or pastry chefs baking and selling cookies, cupcakes, and donuts at a bakery. You can join in their pretend play too!
Language and literacy
Through play doh play at home, children practice listening to and talking with friends, siblings, and adults (you!). Materials like play doh help children build their vocabulary as they explain what they are doing. For example, when a child exclaims, "Chop!” as she brings down the plastic knife, she uses just the right word to describe her action.

Children use language to invent stories about their play doh creations. You may notice your child using facts or ideas from books you’ve read together. Children also refer to things they did or saw in their everyday lives ("This is a burrito like we had at lunch”).

When the two of you make a batch of play doh together, your child learns about print and why people write. Following the recipe helps him connect written and spoken words and learn that writing can be used for different purposes. In this case, the writing explains how to make play doh. Encourage him to roll snakes and use them to form letters. Discuss action words like pound and slice and descriptive words like mushy and sticky.

These types of experiences help children learn new words and communicate their thoughts and ideas effectively—skills they will need when they learn to read and write in the primary grades.
Science
Young children learn about science through hands-on experiences. They learn by observing, thinking, and talking about how materials feel and how they change. You can encourage scientific thinking. Provide sawdust or sand to add to the play doh and then talk about how this new kind of dough looks and feels. Introduce words like texture, grainy, smooth, and lumpy.

Your child might declare, "I’m making this flat!” as she pushes down on play-doh with the palm of her hand. Or she may say, "I’m making it soft,” as she adds water to dry play doh to make it more pliable. When you ask, "What do you think would happen if we added too much water?” you are helping her understand the scientific concept of cause and effect.
Math
Measure and count while you make a batch of play doh together. Your child can learn about measurement and numbers by filling the cup and comparing the size of teaspoons and tablespoons, and about counting as he adds the ingredients.

Children note changes in shape and size as they comment on, compare, and contrast the objects they make ("I made a triangle” and "Mine is a tiny ball and yours is big”). Others notice who has more or less play doh. Ask your child to count how many pieces she is making or to arrange her creations by size or color. Encourage mathematical thinking by asking, "What shape is that?” “Which snake is longer?” or “How many pieces do you have now?”
These play experiences encourage children to practice counting, learn about shapes (geometry) and how they relate to each other (spatial sense), and practice sorting and classifying. Such mathematical ways of thinking prepare children for learning more complex math concepts in the coming years.
Physical development
While poking, rolling, and squishing play doh, children develop the small muscles in their fingers and hands. They use hands, fingers, and tools to pound, push, poke, shape, flatten, roll, cut, and scrape.

Enjoy!
