Playdough!

Our infants seem to light up when playdough is offered as one of our sensory and fine motor activities. Playdough assists the children in developing their senses, especially sight, smell and touch. Pulling, rolling, poking and grabbing a fist-full of playdough all help to develop their fine motor skills and eye-hand coordination. We often add food colouring and accessories such as cookie cutters, pizza cutters, and rolling pins for variety.
