Fun Bible Play Tip
Giving kids play dough is a great way to let them recreate a bible story that they have learned.
A great example would be Noah's Ark or David and Goliath. Or, Let them use their imaginations and decide on how they would create a world if they were God? What shape would their world be? A square, triangle, or maybe two circles put together they could imagine what ever they like their world to be. What kinds of plants would they create for their world? Better yet what kind of new animals could they think of to make.
What ever they decided to make nothing can be wrong because that's the great thing about play dough. You can just squish it up and start over again with no catastrophic events resulting in it's destruction!
