Rainbow Playdough Sensory Activity 🌈🌈🌈

Hello Hello,

Toddlers love playdough! Thats' a fact! 💓

Rainbow made of playdough and colored buttons were a hit! He loved this so much because he's crazy about playdough and rainbows. So you can imagine all the fun and excitement playing with them both at once! :x:x 🌈🌈

This is a creative-sensory activity that stimulates the imagination, creativity, dexterity and fine motor skills of the little ones.

Depending on the age of the child, the activity can be done entirely by them.

In our case, my toddler took the playdough out of the container, he tried 'heat' it with his little hands so that it would be soft. Then, he handle me the playdough by colors to form the rainbow arches. 🌈
In the end, he put the buttons on the playdough, making the association on colors. That was the moment when all the fun came in!

Do you know the benefits of playing with play dough?💓 Here are some:

It develops fine motor skills
It's calming for children
It encourages creativity
It enhances hand-eye coordination
It promotes playtime

While children are busy rolling, poking and squishing dough, they are building strength in the little muscles in their fingers and hands. These same muscles are used for later skills such as cutting and holding a pencil with a pincer grasp.

When playing with play dough, children are beginning to use symbolic thinking, or pretending the play dough is something else. This is an important skill for cognitive flexibility, and a way in which children express their ideas.
