Play-doh offers lots of learning and fine motor development.
There are two other uses:
using your hands to squeeze and roll is calming and relieves stress and is a safe outlet for extra energy.
creating with play-doh builds confidence a feeling of competence.
" I can squeeze really hard" "I can roll a long snake" "Look I made a bug!"
