Dramatic Play: Angela dresses Big Ted to go outside, but the weather changes from sunny to rain to snow, they eventually give up and stay in. Angela changes a play dough birthday cake into a play dough person. Dramatic play: David is a large ball of clay that Angela, the potter, molds into a pot and bakes in the kiln.

Ideas for Later

 * Play a 'What Could It Become' game. Using any safe object, explore the imaginative possibilities. A wooden spoon could become a microphone, a hairbrush a tennis racquet, or even a fly swat
 * Play 'What's Changed?' Begin with a drawing of an animal, object, or person. After the child has had a good look at the picture, it is removed and one aspect of it is changed. eg change the direction of an elephant's trunk.
