Pediatric Physical Therapy Activity of the Week: Therapeutic Play with Playdough

1st December, 2010

3 December 2010, Gross Motor Skills, Newsletter, Tip or Resource, Vestibular Balance & Coordination

Thank You to Joni Redlich, DPT for this week’s Therapy Activity of the Week!
Playdough can be a great tool to strengthen the hands and for imaginary play. It can also be a great tool for increasing sensory awareness of the feet. It can also be used to challenge balance in standing like in this video, or it can be done in sitting too. Have fun trying it out!
