How to teach Dough Disco
By Spread the Happiness
Dough Disco is a fine muscle exercise invented by Shonette to aid children's mark making and writing. With daily Dough Disco the child's brain learns to control the fingers. It has no age limit because fine muscles need exercise just like gross muscles.
How to Dough Disco covers everything from why it's used, where and how. Shonette explains the history, progression, planning and how to keep going with it throughout the academic year.
The training course includes companion videos relating to the Dough Disco moves, including a bonus move!
