[Ju]

I am showing a group of children in making/playing a play dough in English. Could you introduce :

• some words, phrases, sentences, action words.... in making and playing dough
• names of equipments for playing dough (eg rolling pin.......)

Tks / ju

They are playing with the Play-Doh (the proper name).
They are playing with colored clay.

If they are mixing up their own homemade clay, then they are making it.

Rolling, cutting, shaping, molding, forming, creating
Molds, shapes, knives, rolling pin.

Just to stress that 'Play-Doh' is the name of the brand, not two English words combined - 'play' + 'dough'. The substance itself (i.e. not referring to the brand name) is called 'modelling clay'.

Also, another common word for it (in British English, at least) is Plasticine. This is also a brand name.
