Large Wizard Of Oz/Wicked Play-Dough Kit

This is a vibrant, Wizard of Oz/Wicked-themed sensory play kit, meticulously organized in a clear compartment tray. It blends the classic elements of Dorothy’s journey with the aesthetic of the musical Wicked, making it a perfect storytelling tool for fans of the world of Oz.

Kit Highlights

• Custom Non-Toxic Dough: Three large portions of scented or glittered play-dough in bright pink (Glinda), deep purple (Elphaba/The Wizard), and emerald green (The Emerald City).

• Iconic Characters: Miniature figurines of Dorothy, the Cowardly Lion, the Tin Man, and Glinda, alongside modern doll versions of Elphaba and Glinda.

• Themed Accessories:

• A Yellow Brick Road and Emerald City decal on the lid to set the scene.

• Whimsical charms like a silver tiara, a witch’s hat, and a "Wicked" logo.

• Nature-inspired accents including green silk leaves, butterflies, and pink flowers.

• Sensory Fillers: An assortment of pom-poms, sparkles, hearts, and small trinkets (like a tiny cauldron) to add texture and detail to dough creations.

Since this kit is packed with so many specific characters and textures, it’s a goldmine for "open-ended" play. Here are a few creative prompts and activities to get the storytelling started:

1. Build the Emerald City Skyline

Use the green dough as a base to create a 3D version of the city shown on the lid.

• The Challenge: See how high you can stack the dough "skyscrapers" before they topple.

• The Detail: Use the green leaves and sparkling green poms to decorate the "streets" of the city for the Wizard’s arrival.

2. The "Two Sides of Oz" Scene

Divide a workspace into two halves using the pink dough (Glinda’s bubble/Upper Uplands) and the purple dough (The Witch’s castle/The Great West).

• The Activity: Place the Glinda and Elphaba figures in their respective "territories."

• The Twist: Use the silver tiara and the black witch hat to "stamp" patterns into the dough, creating a textured path that connects the two worlds.

3. Rescue the Lion's Courage

The Cowardly Lion looks a bit lonely in that bottom compartment!

• The Prompt: Hide the small "treasures" (like the hearts or the tiny cauldron) inside balls of the purple dough.

• The Mission: Dorothy and the Tin Man have to "mine" through the dough to find the hidden objects that will help the Lion feel brave.

4. Design a New "Wicked" Wand

Since the kit includes a silver tiara and various sticks, why not create a custom wand?

• The Craft: Roll out a long "snake" of pink and purple dough twisted together.

• The Finishing Touch: Press the butterfly and the pink flowers into the top of the dough to create a "nature wand" fit for a Good Witch.
