What you'll learn
This activity is great to teach your kids:
Fine motor skills involve movement of the smaller muscle groups in your child's hands, fingers, and wrists.
Developing fine motor skills will help your child to write and prepares her for school. But it will also help your children with everyday tasks like eating, and dressing themselves.
Creative activities help children express themselves and create something from nothing, explore materials and activities and use their imagination.
Colour recognition activities helps children get to know the different colors and color blending and matching.
Sensory play is play that involves all the senses - taste, sound, sight, touch and smell. Sensory play is very beneficial to children. Research shows that sensory play builds nerve connections in the brain’s pathways, which lead to the child’s ability to complete more complex learning tasks. Sensory play is also very relaxing and rejuvenating to children.

We tried it
I had fun making this Jello playdough and it smelled lovely. It took me about 20 minutes to make the Jello playdough but it felt like a nice break from the kids.
At first I thought this playdough was going to flop but it came together nicely after it cooled down a bit. And I had a few minutes peace and quiet while the two played independently.
