A simple playdough activity can improve a child's attention span, sense of order, independence, creativity, sensory refinement, and coordination.

Playdough isn't necessarily a Montessori activity but I would encourage all families to give it a go-to to help build hand strength and coordination.

Playdough is just a really fun sensory experience for kids. It's good for creativity, muscle strength, and fine motor skills too.
