Color Ball Rolling

Parent guides child in rolling playdough balls between hands and placing them in an ice cube tray, observing fine motor coordination and hand strength. The agent coaches the parent to notice bilateral hand coordination, pressure control, and precision placement — building foundational skills for later writing and tool use.

Free to do together whenever you like.

What you'll need

Child seated at table or on floor with playdough and ice cube tray within reach. Playdough should be soft and pliable. Workspace should be clear of distractions. Parent positioned to observe child's hands.
