Introduction to Dough Set

by Djeco

A beginner-friendly dough set for little hands starting to press, change and create.

There is a stage in early childhood where a thumbprint in dough can suddenly feel like a real achievement. The Djeco Introduction to Dough Set gives your little one a simple sensory play start, with open-ended dough play they can shape, change and proudly claim as their own.

The dough that keeps coming back to the table

On some days, it is a quiet little patch of dough while dinner is being started. On other days, it becomes a shared table activity, with your child showing you what their hands have made before squashing it down and beginning again. Eventually, without anyone really planning it, the dough comes out when they want to make something that feels theirs.

Product overview

A first dough set they can make their own

Some afternoons need play that does not have a right answer. At first, your little one may simply press into the dough and feel what happens. Soon, they start changing it on purpose, passing pieces back and forth, or returning to the same lump because it can become something different each time. Before long, the Introduction to Dough Set feels less like a craft activity to finish and more like a familiar table-time invitation to try, change and make again.
