For continued development, the child can be encouraged to use the play dough to create different shapes, objects, or even characters from their favorite stories. This can further enhance their fine motor skills, creativity, and imagination. Additionally, incorporating tools such as cookie cutters, rolling pins, or plastic knives can provide new challenges and opportunities for exploration.
