Grab Your Playdough and Start the Creativity
Why do l love playdough? First, even the youngest child can play with it. My kiddos were squishing playdough when they were toddlers, just 18 months old. Second, it’s so inexpensive, you can even make your own at home. There are tons of homemade playdough recipes out there.
These playdough mats are a fun place to start playing and talking.
Australian Animal Playdough Mats
Use the playdough mats again and again. Here are some options. You can print them on white paper or cardstock, but just know that cardstock will make the mats more sturdy if you put the playdough directly on it.
Better yet, if you can laminate the mats, you can use them over and over. If you don’t have a laminator, consider covering the mats with packing tapes. A few strips should do the trick.
Use You Imagination
You don’t have to use just playdough. You can add pom-poms, confetti, buttons, pipe-cleaners, even real watermelon seeds to make the design more fun.
The name of the animal is also written on the mat. This way, older children can practice tracing and writing the words of each Australian animal.
