This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
Play dough offers a creative outlet for children to explore their artistic side and craft a wide array of shapes and designs. Whether it's rolling, twisting, or shaping play dough into different shapes and designs, it serves as a valuable tool for skill development and artistic creation.
Play dough is not just a fun and squishy material, it also serves as a beneficial tool for strengthening little fingers and hands!
As young children squeeze and mold the play dough they are actively engaging and enhancing their fine motor skills. These skills are essential for various daily activities such as writing and buttoning clothes efficiently.
Young children are naturally curious and eager to explore their surroundings while learning through play. They require assistance with developing their fine motor skills so that they can successfully write their names and become more independent in self-help tasks. Play dough is a versatile and educational tool that can enhance children's learning experience in various subjects. With your support we can provide hands-on activities that promote creativity and make a significant impact on their learning journey.
