Grab Your Playdough and Start the Creativity
Why do l love playdough? First, even the youngest child can play with it. My young children 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. Just scroll to the bottom of the post to get your freebie.
Zoo-Themed Playdough Mats
Use the playdough mats again and again. Here are some options. You can print them on white paper or cardstock. Just know that cardstock will give the mats more durability 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.
Or just slip them protective sheets, pouches, or a gallon sized baggie.
Use You Imagination
You don’t have to use just playdough. You can add pompoms, feathers, buttons, pipe cleaners or whatever you want.
The name of each item is also written on the mat. They’re great to laminate and use dry erase markers. This way, older children can practice tracing and writing the words of each zoo-themed item.
