A Few Extra Tips:

• if you have younger children that you are looking to engage in these play-based learning activities with, opt for Cool Whip or Whipped Cream for kids who still put everything in their mouths
• lay a large plastic tablecloth down to contain the mess
• take your play outside or in the bathtub if possible
• let your child guide the play, even if it doesn’t result in what you set out as the intended purpose

Check out more activities like these in the book, The Undeniable Power of Play, with play variations for a number of ages!
