Finally
It is worth noting that modeling plays a huge role in the development of children. In addition, when working with plasticine, certain points on the fingers and palms are massaged, which are associated with the part of the brain that is responsible for intelligence. Thus, modeling in the 2nd youngest group lays the foundation for mental development, positively affects visual memory, and has a calming effect on the nervous system. By the way, regular modeling classes in the 2nd younger group help hyperactive children to become more calm and assiduous.
