As the Back-to-School season approaches, the PLAY-DOH brand has announced an inspiring collaboration with parenting expert and clinical psychologist Dr. Becky and retail giant Walmart. This partnership seeks to highlight how PLAY-DOH compound serves as a dynamic resource for promoting social-emotional growth and educational development in children.
The collaboration includes:
· The launch of a brand-new digital series in which Dr. Becky explores the transformative power of PLAY-DOH compound to nurture creativity, confidence, and social-emotional skills in children. Each episode is filled with practical tips and engaging activities aimed at parents and educators, illustrating how PLAY-DOH can be an invaluable resource for encouraging children’s development. Watch the first two episodes now on Walmart, with two additional episodes set to premiere later this summer.
· The release of Dr. Becky’s Guide to Open-Ended Play, a resource designed to simplify and enhance open-ended play experiences for parents and children. Dr. Becky emphasizes that understanding is key before intervention; therefore, it is essential to grasp what occurs during open-ended play. Engaging in such play enables children to make sense of their world, develop lifelong skills, and forge emotional connections. Access the guide now on the Good Inside Blog.
Dr. Becky commented: “So many significant parenting moments begin with something small… like play. That’s why I’m thrilled about this partnership. Together with the PLAY-DOH brand and Walmart, we’re helping families realize that even a few minutes of imaginative play can foster connection, confidence, and emotional development.”
She further noted: “When children engage with PLAY-DOH compound, they are not merely crafting shapes; they are practicing a deeper skill: transforming an internal idea into a tangible form. There is no script, no performance, and no one dictating the outcome. The child has the freedom to decide. In this creative space, something profound happens: a child learns that their ideas are significant, and that their imagination can manifest into something visible. When children discover they can take what exists within them and give it shape in the external world, that transcends mere play—it is imagination in action, and it is the foundation upon which confidence is built.”
