Homemade play dough
You might have witnessed kids playing with playdough in different playschools or at your friend’s home. This is the easiest and the most fun activity that a kid enjoys doing. If you allot them some work to develop their skills, they might deny. But no kid will deny crafting new things from the dough. This is because molding the dough provides a therapeutic as well as an educational session to a child.
When a child makes different shapes from the dough, it helps the child to develop strength and control. This also helps the child to refine its motor skills. This dough is easily available in the market and can also be made at home at a cheaper price.
