Playing playdough is a wonderful sensory activity for toddlers. Squeezing and kneading the playdough helps toddler develop muscles strength in their fingers and hands. Those are the same little muscles which toddlers need to be good and strong at in order to hold a pencil and write.
Poking and pinching: is great for strengthening finger muscles.
Rolling: Strengthen both the muscles in the hand and in the arm.
Pressing: Don’t always give your child tools (like roller and cookie cutters) to work with. It is important for children to also learn to use their hands to flatten and shape the playdough.
Cutting: Cutting playdough with a plastic knife or a pair of child safe scissors provides another way to strengthen toddler's fingers and hand muscles.So mommy, let's encourage your toddler to work with playdough today!

OK! Will check that out! :D
Hmm....maybe not so soon coz he will still put everything into his mouth :S
Little CY wants to check thoroughly on everything he encountered, include checking the taste! ^^
You can play together with CY so that you can monitor closely to make sure he doesn't eat the playdough.
I like playdough. I always play it together with JX. And, LK claims that it's the mummy who is more excited than the toddler during playdough time.
