I love seeing playdough play in action! I have been making individual playdough for students each month, and having that individual, accessible play option has been particularly helpful this year!
Benefits
- Develops fine motor skills, and strengthens fingers and hands

- For sensory play you can add in colours, scents, and loose parts of various sizes, shapes, and textures
- Calming for many students
- Versatility – see below for some photos of examples of playdough play in action
