Benefits of Playing with the Human Body Playdough Mats

Playdough is a great toy for your kids. This hands-on activity provides several benefits:

Strengthens Grip
Squeezing, squishing, and warming up the playdough helps to strengthen your student’s grip.

Builds Fine Motor Skills
Rolling the dough into snake-like shapes and using it to fill the body system helps build your student’s fine motor skills.

Strengthens Vocabulary
This activity introduces your student to several new words.

After your student builds the body parts, challenge her to know where the part is on her own body. You could also use it as a spelling activity and ask her to spell the word after she builds the body part.
