Playdough by Sylvie

Description

Our Playdough by Sylvie is supplied in four assorted colours of approximately 450 grams each. A super squishy texture to assist children with sensory modulation issues. Children who have sensory processing issues derive huge benefit from playing with playdough.

Playing with our dough offers so many benefits for children:

• Mixing, squashing and squeezing playdough offers strong resistance to muscles and joints in your child’s hands. Proprioception refers to the sensory input which is provided to muscles and joints by resisted movement activities. This type of sensory input can be very organising to your child’s nervous system. Playing with playdough can form a valuable part of your child’s “sensory diet”.
• Mixing a large handful of dough provides good exercise to help strengthen your child’s hand and finger muscles. Children can have loads of fun mixing two different colours of dough to make a new colour, while strengthening their hands!
• Rolling tiny bits of dough between the index finger and thumb to make tiny “worm” shapes is great for strengthening finger muscles involved in establishing a strong and flexible pencil grip. Similarly, rolling a small pea-sized piece of dough into a tiny ball shape, works develops manipulative finger skills.
• Flattening the dough using the palms of the hands, or a wooden dowel rod, and then pressing out shapes using playdough cutters, helps develop visual perception in toddlers and preschoolers.
• Moulding dough into shapes to make small creatures, develops children’s creativity and imagination.
• Fill a balloon with playdough to make your own stress ball. There are endless valuable uses for playdough!

Playdough is an amazing and versatile tool which can provide so many benefits for children. No home should be without a few tubs of playdough.
