By Dr. Rajeev Tamhankar
In this session, participants will dive deeper into sculpture art by creating fun and imaginative creatures using Play-Doh. Building on the previous lesson where snake sculptures were made, this activity will encourage creativity and fine motor skills as children design various colorful creatures, from dragonflies to pandas. The session provides both a homemade Play-Doh recipe and suggestions for using non-toxic store-bought alternatives.
