Why do we love play dough so much?
If there was ever a toy that never disappoints for toddlers, in our experience, play dough has always been it! Not only is it a go to for creating, it offers a wealth of valuable developmental benefits for all ages!
We made our dough with calming essential oils (a special blend to make you smile and dream) as well as organic ingredients to ensure a top-quality dough for the little hands making magic happen.
From a sensory standpoint, play dough enriches the ‘touch’ sense allowing hands to mold, pull, push, feel and play. Activating the senses is something we feel passionate about – and each child has a sense that is stronger than the other, so for this, we focus on building the ‘touch’ sense through and through.
So, what are the developmental benefits of dough?
Fine Motor Skills are the ability to make movements using the small muscles in our hands and wrists. Kneading the dough, rolling, pinching all help with building this essential motor skill.
Pre-writing skills are the fundamental skills children need to develop before they are able to write. These skills contribute to a child's ability to hold and use a pencil, and the ability to draw, write, copy, and color. By playing with play dough, the hand muscles build and also improve upon this developmental essential.
Calming effect. Our personal favorite benefit by far. To feel a calm come over us is relief. Sometimes just the sight of Play Dough has this effect, and for others, playing with it relieves tension. Either way, calming can turn into dreaming and building the imagination – and that, can lead to happiness.
Hand-eye coordination is the ability to use our muscles and our vision in tandem. It requires the development of visual skills, like visual acuity, and muscle skills. When the two work together, young children begin to increase their ability to pick up, grasp, and manipulate objects. This goes hand in hand with dough play.
Creativity + Curiosity = Imagination! An equation we know is what makes children so inspiring. Play Dough is a free form invitation to create. Mold a ball into a snowman or add buttons to make a mold. Cut a heart and add it to a string for a wand, the world is your oyster, and we’re just here ot see it come to life. This is a skill that also builds social development in children too to be able to explain or act out their vision.
Such a simple toy with such immense benefits. Share your play dough inventions or developmental OT in your #medomoment. We can’t wait to see what you create.

Hi guys, I don’t have much to say right now rather than to say thank you to Dr Amber for rescuing me and my family from poverty. I love playing the lottery but winning big is always the issue for me. I will never forget the day I came in contact with Dr Amber whose lottery spell made me a winner of $360,000,000 million dollars cash prize on the jackpot lottery game I played just by giving me sure winning numbers within 3 days to play the lottery game after he prepared the lottery spell for me. My financial status has changed for good and I’ve started to live my dream life after 14 years of playing the lottery. Thank you Dr Amber for I’m very grateful for all you’ve done for me and my family. You can TELEGRAM or call or message Dr Amber via +1 (808) 481-5132 or email: amberlottotemple@yahoo.com or visit: amberlottotemple.com for more information.
I have been unlucky playing the Lottery over the years. I couldn’t take the pain anymore and I searched for help online. I saw random positive reviews of DR AMBER saying how he has been helpful with his spells. I visited his webpage: ( amberlottotemple.com ) and he told me what was required to get what I seek for done and I accepted. He did a reading for me that made it clear to him that I was going to become a MEGA JACKPOT winner and he gave me the right numbers to play the Lottery. I had faith in him and I went back to the store a few days later to confirm if I had won and while the clerk was checking my ticket, I heard her say ‘Oh my God! I looked up and saw the Big Winner screen of $36,449,852.60. I was completely shocked, but calm. It feels amazing – I can’t imagine this shift in my life and I want to appreciate this man DR AMBER for his help. It’s not everybody that is naturally lucky to win the Lottery but the solution to win is DR AMBER. For more info Call/Text/Telegram +1 808 481 5132 or E-mail: amberlottotemple@yahoo.com
My husband divorced me and went after his ex and left me heart broken for 2 years. I have been playing the lottery for some years before I got married and I have never won any big amount. I continued to play the lottery but I couldn’t win more than $500 dollars until I was introduced to Dr Amber that is a strong Haiti spell caster. I had a chat with him via +18084815132 telling him what a mess my life has become. He encouraged and promised to get my man back for me and to help me win the lottery. There were specific instructions that was passed to me by him which I adhered to as he prepared the spell for me that brought back my husband within 36 hours and he gave me some sure numbers to play the lottery game. I used the numbers to play the lottery and I won $10,000,000 million dollars and all this happened within a week after I knew Dr Amber. It doesn’t matter what you are going through in life Dr Amber is here to help. You can visit his website: amberlottotemple.com
