Play dough Moldings

To improve her finger muscle strength and her fine motor skills, I have thought of this activity and she spent nice 2 hours of time with this.

I gave her a batch of play dough and the plastic mould trays I received as part of Mould n Paint Kit by ToyKraft and asked her to make the moulds with play dough.

She liked the idea and started doing it immediately.










This has following benefits :


  • Working with clay improves dexterity and uses both small and large muscles. Children use their arms, back and shoulders to mold clay. 
  • Working with clay also increases a child’s eye-hand coordination.
  • Self-pride of creating shapes using the molds. 
  • Filling the molds gives enough exercise to the fingers and hands.
This can be tried with younger kids too with the supervision of not putting clay in the mouth.
