Story Dough (FS1)

Story Dough is an imaginative approach to early literacy that combines sensory play with storytelling. Children use playdough as a creative tool to build characters, settings and props, which helps them explore narrative ideas in a hands-on, meaningful way.
Through model-making and discussion, pupils develop:

• Oral storytelling skills
• Vocabulary and language structures
• Understanding of story sequences
• Fine-motor control

Children are encouraged to talk about what they have made, tell stories using their creations, and collaborate with others. Story Dough supports confident communication and lays strong foundations for early writing.
