WHY PLAY DOUGH IS IMPORTANT IN EARLY EDUCATION?

Some people think that when the children play with the dough, its only for fun. It is true... However, besides having fun...

# It can help to strengthen the grip and the fine motor skill
# Good for hands and eye coordination

Once the finger muscles are strengthened, the child will be able to hold the pencil easily. (Saya akan share pasal pegang pensil kat post lain ye..)

WHAT ACTIVITIES CAN YOU DO WITH THE DOUGH ?

Ask them to...

# pinch bit by bit
# squeeze
# press
# roll
# cut into small pieces
# make a small balls

These are the basic activities for toddler. If they have improve...you can start to ask them to..

# make alphabets/numbers/shapes (you can print the template from the internet)
# make into different shapes
# create anything..

I've shared the recipe of the dough. It can last more than a month if you keep it refrigerated in the air-tight jar/tupperware.

This tips can be applied to anybody. Please do this activity with your child. Try to reduce the usage of gadgets among your toddlers.
