Flower Cutters for Playdough: Create a Colourful Garden Through Sensory Play

A little Bio DoUgh and two simple flower cutters can become the beginning of an entire imaginary garden.

The Bio DoUgh Duo Flower Cutters include two flower-shaped cutters in different sizes, giving children an easy way to roll, press, cut, layer and decorate their own colourful flowers.

Pair them with Bio DoUgh Playdough for an easy sensory play activity for kids filled with colour and imagination.

Create Your Own Playdough Flower Garden

Start by choosing a few favourite Bio DoUgh colours.

Roll the dough flat, press the flower cutters into the surface and create flowers in both sizes.

Children can arrange their flowers into a colourful garden, add handmade stems and leaves or create completely imaginary plants.

Pink flowers can grow beside blue ones. Rainbow flowers can have glittery centres. There are no rules when children are creating their own garden.

Two Sizes, More Ways to Create

The set includes two flower cutter sizes, giving children different ways to experiment during play.

Create a large flower and a small flower and compare them.

Layer the smaller flower over the larger one.

Alternate between big and small flowers to create a pattern.

Or use different Bio DoUgh colours for each size.

A simple difference in size can create plenty of new possibilities.

Roll, Press & Cut

Using the flower cutters is simple.

Flatten the Bio DoUgh using a rolling pin, choose one of the flower cutters and press it into the dough.

Lift the cutter away and the flower is ready to decorate.

Layer Large & Small Flowers

Using both cutter sizes together can create colourful layered flowers.

Start with a large flower in one Bio DoUgh colour. Cut a smaller flower in another colour and place it in the centre.

Try different colour combinations to create an entire collection of unique flowers.

Children can arrange their layered flowers into a garden, bouquet or completely imaginary scene.

Decorate with Bio DoUgh Sprinkles

Once the flowers are cut, add extra colour and texture with Bio DoUgh Sprinkles.

Children can press sprinkles into the centre of each flower, arrange them around the petals or create colourful patterns.

Combining playdough, cutters and decorative textures adds another element to hands-on sensory play.

Add a Little Biodegradable Glitter

Some flowers deserve a little sparkle.

Add Bio DoUgh biodegradable glitter to the flower centres or petals to create magical playdough flowers.

Children can create glittery fairy gardens, sparkling rainbow flowers or imaginary plants unlike anything found in a real garden.

Create Big & Small Patterns

Having two cutter sizes also makes it easy to experiment with patterns.

Try:

• Large flower, small flower, large flower, small flower
• Pink flower, blue flower, pink flower, blue flower
• Large red flower, small yellow flower
• Small flowers surrounding one large flower

Children can copy a pattern or invent their own using different sizes and Bio DoUgh colours.

Make a Playdough Flower Bouquet

Flowers do not have to stay in the garden.

Create several large and small playdough flowers and arrange them together to make a pretend bouquet.

Add playdough stems and leaves, combine different colours and decorate the flowers with sprinkles or glitter.

Children can even create pretend bouquets for family members, friends or their favourite figurines.

Build a Magical Figurine Garden

Turn the flowers into part of a larger sensory play world.

Create a garden using both flower sizes, add playdough pathways and then introduce characters from the Bio DoUgh Figurines collection.

The garden might become a home for fairies, dinosaurs, sea creatures or completely imaginary characters.

The flowers become part of the story rather than simply shapes cut from playdough.

Make Rainbow Flowers

Give every flower a different colour or combine several Bio DoUgh colours in one creation.

Children can make contrasting flower centres, rainbow petals or entire multicoloured gardens.

The Bio DoUgh Rainbow in a Bag gives little creators plenty of colours to mix and match during flower-themed play.

Combine Flowers with Other Shapes

Flower cutters can also be used alongside other Bio DoUgh cutters.

Add hearts and stars to create a magical garden.

Use circles for flower centres.

Create numbers for a pretend garden counting activity.

Combining different cutters gives children more opportunities to turn simple shapes into larger pictures and imaginative scenes.

Fun Flower Playdough Activities for Kids

Children can use the Duo Flower Cutters to create:

• Large and small playdough flowers
• Layered two-colour flowers
• Colourful flower gardens
• Big and small patterns
• Pretend flower bouquets
• Rainbow flowers
• Glittery fairy gardens

The same two cutters can become the starting point for a completely different activity each time.

Create a Garden Sensory Play Setup

For a simple flower-themed activity, combine the Duo Flower Cutters with Bio DoUgh, a silicone rolling pin, a play mat, sprinkles, biodegradable glitter and favourite figurines.

Children can choose which materials they want to use and decide what their garden becomes.

A Simple Screen-Free Activity for Kids

Playdough flower making can be an easy screen-free activity for weekends, playdates, rainy afternoons or school holidays.

There is no finished design children need to copy.

Some might carefully create matching flowers. Others might build a huge rainbow garden. Another child might create two flowers, squash everything together and start again.

Open-ended play allows the activity to develop naturally.

Two Flower Cutters, Endless Ideas

Two simple flower cutters can become much more than two shapes.
