If you have a home with young children there is a chance you may or may not have play dough in it too! Many parents have a love or hate relationship with play dough. If you are a hater, you might have expounded, "It is messy", "It gets stuck in my carpet"," It dries out, gets hard and HURTS when I step on it"," The kids mix up the colors and now we have a blob of grey!"
Play dough is not just a messy kid activity, it can be very important in developing critical skills for school readiness. This is most obvious in the fine motor area with improving strength, dexterity and eye-hand coordination necessary for writing. Beyond that, play dough activities support language, literacy, math and creativity in your child.
