Dough gym is an activity which promotes early writing skills, it builds up the muscles in our hands, that are essential for developing fine motor skills, pencil control and early writing.
This activity will also help develop communication and language skills by developing our listening following simple instructions and hearing the beat. From doing this activity on a daily basis we are hoping to also improve the children, concentration skills, the ability to see activity through to the end and playing alongside others. We have recently added music to our dough Gym session, we have found the children enjoy it more and are showing signs of remembering the movements/ actions.
