🎨 Play Dough = Powerful Fine Motor Skills Practice ✋✨

One of our favorite (and easiest!) fine motor activities at home is playing with play dough.

It may look like “just play,” but here’s what it actually helps develop 👇

🌱 Hand strength

🌱 Finger control

🌱 Coordination

🌱 Pencil-holding readiness

🌱 Focus and patience

Simple ways to use play dough at home:

👉 Roll it into balls or snakes

👉 Pinch, squeeze, and flatten

👉 Cut using child-safe scissors

👉 Form letters or simple shapes

👉 Hide small objects and let your child dig them out

⏱️ Even 10–15 minutes a day is enough.

Small, consistent activities make a BIG difference over time.

🩵 Reminder for parents:

You don’t need fancy materials or long lessons. Play is learning — and progress matters more than perfection.

✨ Question for you:

What fine motor activity does your child enjoy the most at home?
