Roll the dice. How many Play-Doh circles can you roll and count? LM and I had fun with this simple counting activity, but then he started to smash the circles. This is how the game “Play-Doh Smash Game” was born.
Directions:
Shape small spheres with your child.
Put them in the center of the playing area.
Roll the die.
How many spheres do you get to smash? Using a play hammer or a hand, have fun smashing the spheres as you count? Play for fun or competition to see who can smash the most spheres?
