Doughremom is an open-ended sensory play material. It is recommended to introduce playing with play dough to your child once your child is 1.8 years old and not before that. So for a 1.5-year-old to about 3 years of age, all you have to do is just keep the dough with a few accessories like a rolling pin stamp and child-safe scissors. Focus on skills that you can teach your child like rolling, pinching, squashing, squeezing, and stamping. These are the activities to be done at the beginning. As the child grows each child has his or her way of imaginative play with the dough but at the same time, many academic concepts can be taught like the alphabet, numbers, shapes, etc.
