Physicality for writing is the first thing we focus on to prepare our little ones for writing. This is a fun activity that works on children's hand and wrist strength whilst developing their co-ordination and endurance.

All you need is a ball of dough and a little bit of enthusiasm.

Dough Disco involves several simple movements that are then put into fun songs.

They are:

• Rolling the dough into a ball 
• Squeezing the dough 
• Patting the dough 
• Splatting the dough
• Pinching the dough around the outside
• Rolling the dough into a sausage shape.

Please see below some helpful videos to follow.
