“Play dough? Just play dough?” People ask me all the time. “Just watch.” I say, “it’s so much more.” ❤️🧡💛💙💚💜

hi 👋 im Erin and I started Adoughma out of my kitchen, for kids like my son and his friends and our community in Philadelphia. Adoughma joined the team at Jewish Learning Venture last year because this team knows that everybody loves to play, and most people, no matter how old they are, really love to play with dough.

My mother passed away of dementia this year and even while she declined, she and my kids enjoyed her occupational therapy sessions together.

It got me thinking 🤔 dough regulates 🌀 the body and brings joyful play to the heart ❤️ maybe dough can tell a story or help us learn 📕 or remember important facts 🧮. Dough brings us all to the same table and invites us to sit together, share together, create together.

Maybe dough can do so much more.

Help us grow this year and share the joy of dough 🫟 with your community. Tag a Jewish org that you think should get to know us!

If you partnered with us last year, thank you. 🙏

Book a pop-up dough play session + support your curriculum at Hebrew school or camp⛺️!

Ask us about our PD sessions for educators on sensory support strategies.

Together we can build a world 🌎 that works for lots of different needs by creating an accessible, sensory-regulating way to play. 🫟

Oh Hanukkah. 🤦🏻‍♀️ This time of year is full of lights, noise, disruption to the routine, a lot of sugar, excitement, and SO MANY big feelings — which means it’s also full of sensory overwhelm. 😳 We get it and we've got your back with some tools to plan out your week!

The story of Hanukkah has such valuable messages + deep meaning of resilience, pride, hope, light that lasts longer than expected, but if you’re like me, you end up focusing on “perfect” food, decorations, photos, or the “right” reactions.

Let’s try this. Let’s ask ourselves, what really matters to make Hanukkah meaningful? Are we having a “learning” night or are we letting go and enjoying where we’re at? 💙 It’s okay if your kids don’t eat the latkes. It’s okay if the reaction to the gift doesn’t match the expectation of the giver.

Neurodivergent kids might say “I hate this” simply because the moment was too big, too fast, too much. When they use the gift later, that is their version of “thank you.”

Release the pressure. Lower the demands. Increase compassion.
It’s not about the perfect presents - it’s simply your presence that brings the light. 🔥
