Benefits of Playdough Play

There are so many benefits to playing with playdough!
Here are a few of the major benefits...
1. Fine Motor Development. Before children can learn how to write, they need to develop strong fine motor skills. With playdough you can mold, flatten, squish, pinch, and roll. Adding extra utensils will further enhance the benefits.
2. Vocabulary. Children form new ideas and concepts as they create. You can enhance your child's experience by talking to them while they're playing.
3. Creativity. Playdough is pretty plain on its own, it takes a child's imagination to create something unique with it. As they continue playing, they will keep getting more and more creative.
4. Therapeutic Value. Playdough can be very calming to play with. It can reduce stress, anxiety and be a great tool for transitioning from noisy play to quiet time.
