The role of play dough in kids play at Dubai Nursery

Out of the many nursery methods in education, many of the best nursery schools in Dubai rely heavily on the motto learning through play. One such play material is play dough! Not only is it fun and popular among young children but the benefits of it when it comes to education are many.

Play dough has an indirect impact towards improving the fine motor skills of children. The malleable properties of play dough make it fun for investigation and exploration as well as secretly building up strength in all the tiny hand muscles and tendons, making them ready for pencil and scissor control later on. 

Poking in objects and pulling them out of play dough strengthens hand muscles and co-ordination. As part of simple, tactile play it can be squashed, squeezed, rolled, flattened, chopped, cut, scored, raked, punctured, poked and shredded! Each one of these different actions aids fine motor development in a different way, not to mention hand-eye co-ordination and general concentration. And as soon as you add another element to it, the list of benefits and creative play possibilities continues to grow!

The kids imagination and creativity can grow in leaps and bounds when they play with play dough. As soon as you introduce open ended play items to add to the mix, play dough becomes the perfect medium for numerous types of imaginative play and can represent so many things in a child’s eyes. A jar of candles and cupcakes cases leads naturally to birthday party role-play, counting out candles and singing! Glass pebbles can lead to sea-side imaginative small world play with storytelling about sea creatures and mermaids!

Also play dough can help calm and sooth anyone including kids and adults. The effects of all that squeezing and pummeling are great for stress relief and can feel extremely therapeutic! Little children can struggle to express their emotions and using dough while talking and singing can really help that process. 

With time play dough can be used in more focused play and help in introducing mathematics, science and literacy skills. Talk to your nursery school to learn more on the use of play dough as a part of daily play and learning times with the young children.

How to identify a child friendly environment

If you visit any day care facilities in Dubai or children’s nursery the first thing that would catch you eyes if the colourful interior. From the walls, to the decorations to even the furniture’s will all be in playful shades of red, pink, blue and yellow and other bright shades that children love.

When it comes to child friendly nurseries you may ask is it important that the interior should be child friendly – both in line of safety and decoration. How important is it that nursery should create an indoor environment tailor made for children? 

The environment in which children grow is indeed a vital element for his development. Not only should it be a safe place where they are continuously supervised and ensured no harmful objects are at their arms reach, but it should also be where they are inspired and introduced to new objects and activities from the basic tasks of eating, sleeping, playing, washing hands to learning new skills, coordination, communication, understanding names of objects and understanding meaning of words.
It is important that the learning area for children should be set up with low shelves at children’s reach. It should have specific places for the children where they can learn and work independently.  Some nurseries even have four or more learning areas for different tasks, including a comfortable carpet or couch as a reading area, and a more lively environment with pets and/or plants to teach the basics of science.

The environment does play a major role in supporting the curriculum set for young children. As it is important to allow the children to experiment, and have access to hands-on-learning the environment can help encourage the children’s through their early learning and development stages. A dramatic play area, locations for water and sand play, blocks area, reading corners, art and craft area are all vital to encourage the children to learn through play. 


Children need to feel loved, warm, cared and well fed to be able to take part in active learning. They need to be allowed to move around and play. Adults need to be available to support their activities and learnings. With this in mind an ideal environment for children should provide the children with the best in play, experience, people, teaching, communication, friends, independence, encouragement and most of all it should be fun and a welcoming environment. This is the importance of child friendly environments in Dubai.
