Play Dough Mats

We play with play dough a lot here so I was really pleased with these themed mats that I found that gave us some more ways to use our play dough while enhancing the children's creativity, fine motor skills, numeracy and literacy skills. In line with our current theme I made some food related mats that were a huge success. 





We made up two colours of play dough and each child chose a mat. I helped them read the text and then they set to work. Initially they followed the simple instructions such as making sausages to go on their BBQ as well as counting out cakes to put on the tray.




After swapping their mats the children then returned to using the dough to make up stories about dinosaurs and crocodiles which is always lovely to watch!
