Fall Fine Motor Fun

by Jamie on November 7, 2012

We love, love, love this craft from Spoonful.com so much that we are once again sharing this link (click on picture to access recipe at their website).  Julie made multiple batches of this wonderfully Fallish (not a word, I know) play dough and brought it in for all of our therapists to use last year.  It smelled like heaven and almost made me forget that all of our Florida trees were still green.   If you have children interested in reading and following the recipe, making the play dough is a fabulous language and occupational therapy exercise.   Even younger children can help measure, pour, stir, knead and practice following directions.  Once cooled the dough is ready for a week of fine motor fun! Enjoy 🙂
