A busy new playdough idea has been added to the site -
Parrot Squawk and the monkey pirates
Resources to support it are a pile of
pirate coins - on amazon.co.uk and a quantity of
molten gold (yellow coloured) dough
This is a nice activity to help observe the pincer grip in action

It enables role play with printable story pages, finger puppets or play figures, treasure chest mats, scribing and map making scrolls, cardboard & paper leaf trees and any treasure items you can find.
