I felt like the playdough workouts that were used were creative enough to get the children interested and giggling, which motivated them to try it. The movements were familiar enough but still challenging, allowing the children to work both fine and gross motor skills.

By squeezing play dough, children's fine muscle strengthened . By tossing it with one hand and catching with the other hand children developed their cognitive and physical skills.

The use of play dough in this activity not only helped to engage the children (who, no doubt are already fond of and well acquainted with play dough) but helped them to build and refine their fine and gross motor skills. I believe that the very first exercise even helped the children to develop some body awareness in regard to their fingers. I've found that preschoolers are often tripped up when it comes to isolating and using individual digits.
