Dough disco is all about strengthening our children's muscles in their hands ready for writing. During dough disco the children have their own pots of dough and will practice a variety of different movements with their dough such as squeezing, pinching and rolling. This will support children and help to prepare them for writing. Please see some links below that we use to support our dough disco sessions. Please have a go at this at home with your child.
