What Are Dinosaur Sprinkles for Playdough?
Bio DoUgh Dinosaur Sprinkles are decorative sensory play pieces featuring dinosaurs, T-Rex shapes and trees.
Children can press them into playdough, arrange them into prehistoric scenes or combine them with their favourite playdough accessories to create miniature dinosaur worlds.
Each set comes in a 240 ml reusable container, helping keep the pieces together between play sessions.
Unlike single-use decorations, these sprinkles are designed for repeated play, allowing children to create different prehistoric adventures again and again.
1. Create Your Own Dinosaur Playdough World
Transform colourful Bio DoUgh into a miniature prehistoric landscape filled with dinosaurs, trees and exciting adventures.
Start by rolling out green Bio DoUgh to create the ground.
Add brown playdough for rocky pathways, blue for rivers and orange for prehistoric mountains.
Then press the Dinosaur Sprinkles into the dough to bring the scene to life.
Children can create:
- Miniature dinosaur habitats
- Prehistoric forests
- Colourful rivers and watering holes
- Dinosaur pathways and trails
- Rocky landscapes
- Imaginary dinosaur adventures
Every dinosaur world can look completely different depending on the colours, shapes and accessories children choose.

What would a dinosaur world be without a volcano?
Use orange, red and brown Bio DoUgh to create a colourful pretend volcano.
Shape the dough into a mountain and add red or orange strips to represent flowing lava.
Arrange dinosaur and tree sprinkles around the landscape.
Children can invent stories about dinosaurs exploring the volcanic environment or escaping an imaginary eruption.
This activity combines creative playdough modelling, sensory exploration and imaginative storytelling.
3. Create a Miniature Dinosaur Habitat
Where might a dinosaur live?
Encourage children to create their own prehistoric habitats using different Bio DoUgh colours.
Green playdough can become a forest, blue can become a lake and brown can represent rocky ground.
Add dinosaur sprinkles and trees to complete the scene.
Children can experiment with creating different environments and deciding where each dinosaur might live.

4. Make a Dinosaur Counting Activity

Children can copy a pattern or invent their own.
The different shapes make it easy to explore sequences through hands-on play.

Create a miniature forest filled with colourful trees and dinosaurs.
Roll out green Bio DoUgh to create the forest floor.

Or the dinosaurs might be travelling through a colourful prehistoric landscape together.
Children can use Bio DoUgh to build the world around their story, adding trees, hills, rivers and pretend volcanoes.
