Your children learn best when they are actively engaged in the learning process. Hands-on activities allow children to explore and interact with their environment, which helps them to make connections and develop a deeper understanding of the world around them. Play dough and fine motor activity mats are perfect for hands-on learning in your classroom. They help with:
Increased engagement:
Fine motor activities are engaging and allow your children to use their senses to explore and interact with materials, which helps to keep them interested and motivated.
Development of problem-solving skills:
Play dough shape-making activities often require children to solve problems, such as how to create a shape or arrangement to fit a space or cover an area. This helps them to develop their problem-solving skills, which are essential for success in school and in life.
Development of fine motor skills:
Working with dough, buttons, counters or markers on the activity mats help develop your students fine motor skills. They will use hand-eye coordination and dexterity. This is important for tasks such as writing, drawing, and playing musical instruments.
Development of social skills:
A play-dough or fine motor mat learning center can serve to support the scial development of your students too. They can work at a small desk together and share equipment, talk about their work, listen to one another, be cooperative and communicate their thoughts and feelings.
