Spring Playdough Mats

Spring has officially sprung! I just love taking walks and feeling the warm sun on my face and the gentle breeze in my hair. The neighborhood kids are all outside playing, drawing on the sidewalk with chalk, blowing bubbles, jumping rope, swinging on backyard swingsets, and filling the air with laughter! It is so wonderful to get ou and enjoy nature. Seeing all the new growth – baby leaves on trees, colorful tulip and daffodile spring bulbs, and vibrant green grass. But with outdoor beckoning children outdoors it can be hard for educators to compete for children’s attention! These fun spring playdough mats are not only fun, but a great tool in helping kids learn shapes and shape names. Use these shape playdough mats as an educational shape activity to  strengthen fine motor skills while having with a super cute rabbit and carrot themed playdough activity for toddlers, preschoolers, and kindergarteners too.

Each shape printable had a bright green border, shapped orange carrot with a green stem, traceable shape name, and a cute white bunny rabbit popping out of the brown dirt to say hello! I jsut love the cute pink nose and ears!

This shape activity  has so many uses. Kids can practice making the shape with orange jelly belly like we did. We love making learning math fun with food! After you are finished learning and playing, you get to eat the edible math manipulative for a snack!

Spring Preschool Activity

Whether you are a parent, teacher, hoomeschooler, doing school at home, daycare, or an involved grandparent – these shape playdough mats are such a fun NO PREP math activity for preschoolers.  students will have fun practicing making shapes over and over using jelly beans, playdough, or dry erase markers to learn shapes in an hands on math activity.

The other way to learn shapes is as playdough maps. Kids can either make shaped carrots (ie pancakes), or they can make a rope and form the outline of the shape on the mat. I suggest using orange, brown, green, or black playdough. But any color will work.

Another option is for students to trace the shapes with their fingers or using a dry erase marker. Dont’ forget to point out the shape name which children can also trace with a dry erase marker to start to become familiar with shape names.
