Child playing with playdough

Playdough is a simple, fun activity that helps children develop many important skills while they play. Playdough can help your child:

  • strengthen the small muscles in their hands and fingers
  • develop hand-eye coordination
  • improve two-handed (bilateral) skills
  • build concentration and attention
  • encourage creativity and imagination
  • support communication, social interaction and play skills
  • feel calm and relaxed through sensory play

The best part is that children often don't realise they are developing important skills because they are having fun!
