- They developed fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination by shaping the playdough into various forms and figures.
- Experimenting with different textures and shapes helped the child understand the concept of form and space in art.
Encourage the child to use different tools and objects to create patterns and imprints on the playdough, such as cookie cutters, plastic utensils, or natural materials like leaves and flowers. This will foster creativity and exploration of various textures and designs.
