Spatial Relationships
Spatial relationships are often explored in playdough play. Putting the dough back into its container teaches how much can fit there. Building things on top of, behind, in front or to the side of objects and spaces is an exploration in math concepts that playdough is great for. Children often take a lump of playdough and use it to make objects bigger, wider, or taller. They are experimenting with math concepts while playing with playdough. Developing these spatial relationships directly relates to real-world concepts as children learn about the world around them.
