Animals and Play Dough

I found that the animals and play dough table created the most social experience.I observed lots of talking, laughing, and silliness.I would also say that this was the "imagination" table although the children at this age still need replicas of real objects in their play. The children were making animal sounds and had the animals interacting with each other. The play dough also works the hand muscles, getting them ready to hold a pencil. There was also sharing and taking turns going on at this table.
