All Playdough

Designed with the Montessori principles in mind, these kits are perfect for little hands and curious minds. Read on to discover how to incorporate our collection into your little one’s playtime. 

What is The Montessori Play Method?

The Montessori play method is an educational approach developed by Dr. Maria Montessori, an Italian physician and educator. 

It is based on the belief that growing youngsters have a natural curiosity and innate desire to learn, and that they learn best when they are actively engaged in activities that are meaningful and relevant to their own interests and developmental needs. It emphasises infant-led, hands-on learning through play and exploration – and that’s where we come in. 

How to Use Playdough as Montessori Educational Toys 

Our collection can form part of a great array of learning toys used to educate young minds! Here are three of the best ways to use it in a classroom of little ones: 

• Patterns: Use the dough to make repeating patterns with colours and shapes, which is great for problem-solving. 
• Sorting: Form small balls with playdough and ask them to sort them by colour, scent or size for perfect concentration skill building.
• Rolling and threading: Use it to make long snakes. Then, ask them to roll the snakes into balls or thread them through different objects. This is great for fine motor skills!
