Dough Disco

Dough Disco is a fun filled activity which combines the use of play dough with hand and finger exercises to support and develop fine and gross motor skills.

The music encourages rhythm and engagement through using dance like moves.

December 2024

During our Dough Disco sessions, the children have engaged and demonstrated curiosity, creativity and imaginative thinking with a different theme focus each week. The children have made their own dough, and explored scented dough over the sessions. Shapes, transport and weather themes have been explored, with different themes to follow in the coming weeks.

The most important part of our sessions is that the children have had fun!  The soft, malleable dough has invited the children to shape, squish, roll, and cut it into countless creations. Beyond the fun, playing with dough offers numerous educational benefits, like practicing cooperation skills, turn taking and problem solving, whist improving fine and gross motor skills.
