Dough Disco
Dough Disco is a great way to develop muscles in your children’s hands and fingers to promote early writing. Our children love this activity and we usually do this 3 times a week
Squiggle while you Wiggle
Squiggle While You Wiggle is a kinaesthetic approach to stimulate early writing. Children use movement with music to develop their motor skills in preparation for writing. Through Squiggle While You Wiggle, children begin using ‘flappers’ to rehearse a range of shapes, which lead to children mark-making with chunky pens, in preparation for more formal writing. We usually practise this twice a week
Usual movements we’ve been working on in school are up and down, side to side and circles. As we practise cursive writing I’ve introduced a new movement which we call ‘up the hill’. You must ensure this movement starts low on YOUR left side and rises up to your RIGHT side. This is to support the entry stroke to cursive writing. You can use a pair of socks to swing around if you haven’t got 2 pieces of material

Play Dough Recipe
This is one of the recipes we use for our play dough in school. You can even add glitter or scented food oils to enhance the sensory aspect!
2 cups plain flour
2 tbsp vegetable oil/baby oil
½ cup salt
2 tbsp cream of tartar
1 to 1 ½ cups boiling water (adding in increments until it feels just right)
Food colouring (optional)
2 cups plain flour
2 tbsp vegetable oil/baby oil
½ cup salt
2 tbsp cream of tartar
1 to 1 ½ cups boiling water (adding in increments until it feels just right)
Food colouring (optional)
- Mix the flour, salt, cream of tartar and oil in a large mixing bowl
- Add food colouring to the boiling water then into the dry ingredients
- Stir continuously until it becomes a sticky, combined dough
- Allow it to cool down then take it out of the bowl and knead it vigorously for a couple of minutes until all of the stickiness has gone
- If it remains a little sticky then add a touch more flour until just right
