5 Benefits of Botanical Playdough 🌸

1) Strengthens pre-writing muscles: 📝 Pinching, squeezing, and shaping plant filled dough builds the hand skills needed for gripping pencils later on.

2) 🧘‍♀️Supports calm: The scent, feel, sound, and aesthetic of nature based materials help regulate nervous system systems after active outdoor play.

3) Builds 🔬scientific thinking: Children notice, crunchy shells, crumbly, petals, soft leaves, grainy, seeds, and firm stems. Through their work, they make predictions, experiments, and comparisons.

4) Strengthens care & connection: Using materials gathered from our garden 🪏 connects the children to stewardship and care for the land.

5) Better brain input: Natural textures 🐚 activate more sensory pathways than plastic tools ever could.
