About: Play-Doh Club is not just about playing. As well as helping to develop imagination and creativity, young children can develop fine motor skills by using Play-Doh to build strength in the tendons and muscles of their hands and helping to develop hand-eye coordination. 

Older children, teens, and adults can show their creativity as well, but all the squeezing and pummeling are the perfect stress relief as well!

EVERYONE has fun creating with Play-Doh!
