Playdough Strips
Parent guides child in rolling playdough between hands to create long strips, observing hand coordination, bilateral integration, and fine motor control. The agent coaches the parent to notice how the child coordinates both hands together, applies appropriate pressure, and manipulates the material — building foundational skills for later writing and tool use.
Free to do together whenever you like.
What you'll need
