Playdoh

     Today we worked with playdoh at large group time.  Playdoh is one of the best tools we can use to develop fine motor skills.   Squeezing and squishing the playdoh works on strength while pinching and rolling the playdoh helps with coordination. We tell the children the playdoh is helping to make their fingers stronger!
 
     Today was the first day we took out some of the rollers, shapers, and cutters for the playdoh so it was a very good lesson on sharing.  We could hear many children saying "Can I use that when you're done?" or "Pass the toys please?" 
 
 
 

Can you pass the roller please?
 
Building their "finger muscles."
 
Can I have the scissors when you're done?
 
Working with the playdoh.
 
Making that playdoh into hearts and pizzas.
 
Have a fantastic night! :)
