PLAY-DOH ECONOMICS, Understanding economic principles is child’s play

  • Tubac Community Center 50 Bridge Road Tubac, AZ, 85646 United States (map)

All classes will be held at the Tuba Community Center from 9-llam. Dress for creativity! Comfortable clothes and closed-toe shoes that can get messy with mud and dyes.

With a supply of colorful Play-Doh, students build a series of simple models that transform mysterious abstract economic principles into physical objects they can see, touch, change, and share. This interactive experience introduces or reviews three key economic concepts and ends with a memorable group challenge. 

  1. Goods and Services (The things we want) 

  2. Production (How we get the goods and services we want)

  3. Scarcity (You can’t have everything)

  4. Play-Doh Production Line (You’re hired! A helpful but menu-challenged boss guides an assembly line of new employees in making an unusual lunch special. 

Please send your child with a water bottle and a healthy snack to support their energy and focus throughout the program.
