Developmental benefits
Fine Motor Skills: Using dough cutters requires precise finger movements, helping children develop their fine motor skills as they grasp and manipulate the small tools. Cutting through the dough along specific lines or patterns enhances hand-eye coordination as kids coordinate their hand movements with what they see.
Creativity and Imagination: Dough cutters come in various shapes and sizes, allowing kids to explore their creativity by making different shapes and patterns. Dough play often stimulates imaginative scenarios. Kids may create stories around the shapes they cut out, fostering creativity and narrative skills.
Sensory Exploration: Kneading and manipulating the dough engage a child's sense of touch and provide a sensory experience. This sensory exploration can be calming and enjoyable. If the dough is coloured, children can experiment with mixing different colours, providing a visual and tactile sensory experience.
Language Skills: Engaging in play with mini dough cutters introduces children to new words associated with shapes, sizes, and textures. Describing their creations also enhances expressive language skills. Using the cutters according to specific instructions or creating shapes based on verbal cues can improve a child's ability to follow directions.
Social Skills: Sharing dough and cutters encourages cooperative play, fostering social skills. Children can work together, take turns, and share ideas during the play session. Discussing their creations, negotiating roles, and collaborating on a shared project improve communication skills.
Problem-Solving and Planning: Planning and creating specific patterns or designs with mini dough cutters require problem-solving skills. Children learn to think ahead and organize their actions to achieve a desired outcome. If a shape doesn't turn out as expected, kids learn to adapt their approach, promoting problem-solving skills and flexibility. Playing with dough can have a calming effect, helping children regulate their emotions. The tactile and sensory aspects of the activity provide a soothing experience. Through creative expression with dough, children can convey their emotions. This can be a therapeutic outlet for processing feelings and experiences.

I recently purchased the Paint Sticks for my nieces and they are obsessed with them. Such good quality and easy to use. The packaging was so beautiful. I will be back for more birthday gifts 🎁 Thank you x
We loved these face paint sticks. They come in a great range of colours and are so easy to wipe off. The kids loved them!! Also loved that they are non toxic!
We have had so much fun playing with our dot markers! We made some cards for our friends, and they love it 😊
So good for practising our colours, and concentrating on trying not to overlap the colours on the paper. We have played with them almost everyday.
