Playdough play can also help children deal with strong emotions and impulse control. Children with short tempers or that tend to feel their emotions very strongly will enjoy the calming experience of playing with playdough. Give them a chance to use this as part of a “calming” activity if they need some time to regroup.
Playdough may also be helpful for older children who have high energy levels as a “fidget” or “busy” tool during circle time or independent work time. Often children with high energy levels are busy talking or touching their peers during these times. Giving the child something to fidget with can refocus their energy and help them with staying on task in the classroom.
