This paper reports on the design of a circuit building activity intended for children, which replaces wires with malleable conductive and non-conductive dough. By eliminating the need for soldering or breadboards, it becomes possible to very quickly incorporate movement and light into sculptures, and to introduce simple circuit concepts to children at a younger age. Future applications in both structured and unstructured learning environments, based on results from a preliminary pilot study, are presented.
