Learning our names in playdough

Extending upon the children's interest at the moment of writing their own names, I set up an activity at the playdough table, where I wrote out the children's names on pieces of paper. The idea of this activity is for the children to roll out the playdough and trace over the letters of their name with the playdough. Netana, Jorja, and Donnagh really enjoyed this activity where they were learning basic literacy skills in relation to the letter shapes within the spelling of their own names. Communication.
