Use your playdough to decorate, build and celebrate! Create colourful cupcakes, fill balloon bouquets, design sparkling crowns, decorate party hats and complete each birthday-themed activity. Roll, squish, flatten and shape your dough to bring every party scene to life.

Play Ideas

There’s no right or wrong way to play. Encourage imaginative play as children become party planners, bakers, decorators or birthday hosts.

For younger children:

• Roll playdough balls to fill the spaces.
• Practise squishing, flattening and pinching dough.
• Explore colours and simple decorating.
  

For older children:

• Create patterns with decorations and sprinkles.
• Count balloons, jewels or cupcake decorations.
• Add candles, presents, confetti and other party details.
• Design an entire birthday celebration and tell the story of the party.
