diorama preschooler monday april 1 2013 play doh fine motor work play doh is a great activity for working many learning areas you have sensory art creativity colors and fine motor work you can easily add in even more when i had only one child who played with toys and made messes i thought play doh was such a huge mess and cinged when that activity came to the forefront now it is my favorite the children sit in one spot and play for an extended period sure little bits of play doh get stuck to the counter and spread on the floor but the reality is that it is so much easier to clean up than toys spread around the toy area right now we are loving using toothpicks with our play doh you flatten out the play doh take your toothpick and practice whatever needs to be practiced you can write letters write names do math problems draw shapes and draw pictures we love play doh posted by valerie plowman at 1 00 am 3 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest

sometimes you just need to let things go you know we of course didn t let doing learning activities go so on with the posting this is a great activity to work math skills supplies paper glue crayons optional scissors pattern blocks or pattern shapes printed off of your computer you can make the shapes in a word document and print them out activity have your child trace the pattern block pieces onto a paper and then cut them out if you don t have pattern block pieces just create some shapes in word and print them out if your child isn t able to trace and cut do this for your child beforehand have your child take the pieces and create a picture older children can use their creativity for younger children you will likely need to give direction like let s make a cat with these shapes have your child glue the pieces in place and use crayons to add some details to make the picture if desired posted by valerie plowman at 9 53 am 20 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook
