One fun activity that parents can do with their students at home is make play-dough! Don’t be scared of the word play-dough( I know it’s messy!). Play dough strengthens fine motor skills. Play-dough is a manipulative that children work and mold with their hands, strengthening pincer grasp to pick up and work with small pieces of play-dough and open hand grasp to hold and work large amounts of play-dough. Play-dough also requires control. If they are working to create a specific product, they must control the shape and movement of the play-dough in order to get to their desired outcome. Play-dough is also open ended art. Children can create with the play-dough until they are ready to be done. It a simple activity that parents can do with kids that positively affects their development. Below I have included ingredients and instructions to make play-dough at home with your child that is completely natural, safe and fun to make! Even though you can buy play-dough in the store, making a diy play-dough could save you money and give you the chance to spend extra one-on-one time with your child!
Here are the Ingredients and Instructions Provided by DIY Natural!“Ingredients

I think this is a great activity for kinder gardeners. It helps their development while having a fun hands on experience with playdough. I like how this is an easy DIY with natural ingredients for children to do with their family that will also further their development. I love when teachers give students activities that connect with what they are learning in school that they can complete with their family.
