Developed by a qualified educator with an Honours degree, Little Builders Dough Co. creates purposeful, hands-on playdough kits that blend learning, creativity, and fun.
Like every parent, I understand the desire to use everyday moments to teach, nurture, and inspire learning in children. With that in mind, I created the Little Builders Guides — thoughtfully designed companions to our themed kits, filled with meaningful, hands-on learning ideas.
In addition to our themed learning kits, the Scripture Squish Collection introduces Bible stories in a fun, sensory, and age-appropriate way — inviting children to explore faith through play while nurturing imagination and understanding.
The Little Builders Guide is a thoughtfully designed activity guide included in every FULL themed kit (Mini kits, Grab 'n Go Jars & Push Pops do not include a guide). Created by a qualified educator, each guide is tailored to the kit’s theme and includes early learning activities that build skills across key areas, from fine motor development and early maths to language, creativity, and discovery of the world.
But most importantly, the guide is there to inspire, not instruct. The true goal is open-ended, imaginative play — where your child leads the way and learning happens naturally.
