Playdough Core Board
This simple, child-friendly core board is designed to support communication during playdough activities. It brings together key words and actions that children can use to express themselves while they explore, create and have fun.
With a focus on early language and interaction, the board includes familiar playdough actions like roll, squash, cut and press, alongside important core words such as more, again, help, stop and finished. It also supports turn-taking with my turn and go, helping to build social communication skills naturally through play.
The clear visuals and consistent layout make it easy for children to understand and use, whether they are just beginning to communicate or need extra support. It can be used alongside Makaton signing, speech, or pointing, making it a flexible tool for a range of needs.
Perfect for:
- Early Years settings
- SEND support
- Home learning and play
- Speech and language development
A practical, engaging way to turn everyday playdough time into meaningful communication opportunities.
