Playdough

Art

• The child develops fine motor skills by squeezing, rolling, and shaping the playdough.
• Color recognition is enhanced as the child chooses different colors of playdough and mixes them to create new shades.
• Creativity is encouraged as the child uses the playdough to make various shapes, objects, and sculptures.
• Sensory exploration occurs as the child feels the texture and smell of the playdough.

Encourage the child to use playdough tools, cookie cutters, and other household items to create different textures and shapes. Introduce the concept of mixing primary colors to create secondary colors while playing with playdough.
