• 👶 Small parts! Keep them away from little brothers and sisters.
• 🚫 Not food! Never taste it, and wash your hands when you're done.
• 🔋 Batteries only: never a wall plug
• 🧼 Wash your hands after

Gather first

• Store-bought play dough, two colours · 2 colours
• A little modelling clay (the kind that never dries) · a strip
• 2 AA batteries in a holder with wires
• A small LED light · 2 red or yellow ones
• A pencil

The big idea: Salty dough carries electricity and clay stops it, so you can sculpt a circuit.
