What Are Under the Sea Sprinkles for Playdough?
Bio DoUgh Under the Sea Sprinkles are decorative sensory play pieces featuring whales, fish and seashells.
Children can press them into playdough, arrange them into underwater landscapes or combine them with their favourite playdough accessories to create miniature ocean worlds.
Each set comes in a 240 ml reusable container, helping keep the pieces organised between play sessions.
Unlike single-use decorations, these sprinkles are designed for repeated play, allowing children to create different ocean adventures whenever they like.
1. Create Your Own Underwater Playdough World
Transform colourful Bio DoUgh into a miniature ocean filled with sea creatures, coral reefs and underwater adventures.
Start by rolling out blue Bio DoUgh to create the ocean floor.
Add green playdough for seaweed, yellow for sandy seabeds and colourful dough for imaginary coral reefs.
Then press the Under the Sea Sprinkles into the dough to bring the scene to life.
Children can create:
- Miniature ocean habitats
- Colourful coral reefs
- Whale and fish adventures
- Underwater caves and pathways
- Sandy seabeds filled with seashells

Every underwater world can look completely different depending on the colours, shapes and accessories children choose.

Children can roll, twist and shape the dough into colourful reef structures.
Add fish and seashell sprinkles throughout the scene and place whale shapes nearby to create an imaginative underwater landscape.

Children can count, compare and rearrange the pieces while enjoying colourful sensory play.
