A fun way to work on fine motor skills this Valentine’ s Day is with these Valentines Playdough Mats. Children will enjoy working on their fine motor skills as they mould the playdough into the correct shapes that relate to a variety of different Valentines items. They will enjoy learning to control their hand, fingers and thumb movements which they will need throughout their life while learning about all things Valentine.
