Amazing for strengthening those very important finger and hand muscles that are necessary for skills like feeding yourself, zipping your coat, writing, and more!
Materials:
Homemade play dough (check out our BEST play dough recipe!)
Food coloring
How To:
Make your favorite play dough recipe, leaving out the food coloring.
Divide the batch into balls, however many colors you want to do! (We like doing 6 for the colors of the rainbow).
Take a ball of dough and flatten it. Add 2-3 drops of food coloring inside. Pinch the dough together to form a ball.
Continue on with the remaining balls of dough.
Ask your kids to take a ball and squeeze, smoosh, and stretch the dough until the color appears.
This is a fun way to begin talking about predictions, as well! "What color do you think this dough will be?" "Was our prediction correct?"
