Winter Themed Play Dough Activity Boards for Early Years and KS1
The malleable properties of play dough make it fun for investigation in EYFS, however, what the little ones don't realise is that playing with play dough secretly builds up strength in all the tiny hand muscles and tendons. This makes those little hands ready for pencil and scissor control later on.
This pack not only allows children to 'play' but it also has specific tasks that they should complete while 'playing'.
The boards are beautifully illustrated!
As this is a Winter Play dough Activity Board Pack, everything is Winter related!
-Make a scarf
-Make some mittens
-Make 5 snowballs
-Make some buttons for the snowman
Children will not only have the chance to build up little hand muscles but you can also check how good they are at following instructions!
Over 40 Play dough winter themed specific tasks.
