Making birthday cupcakes with playdough is a popular activity in my speech and language therapy sessions. It’s useful for building shared attention, learning about sequences and storytelling, with plenty of opportunities to explore a rich vocabulary.

I had an extra excuse to make birthday cupcakes this week, as I’m celebrating seven years of running SaLT by the Sea. So, thank you for being here and celebrating with me!

I hope you and your child have fun with this activity.
