Making tongues out of dough is a great hands-on activity for teaching tongue shape and movement during speech therapy sessions. This recipe makes smooth red tongue-dough that smells delightful and is easy to shape. With enough kneading, it develops a fantastic texture with realistic grooves like a tongue! 

I most often use tongue-dough during sessions for the R sound. We make bunched and retroflex tongues and put them in a mouth model. 

For a comprehensive step-by-step program for the R Sound, you’ll want our workbook titled I Can Say the R Sound!
