Preschool Playdough Mats: Farm Shape Playdough Mats

August 23, 2018 by Selena Robinson 5 Comments

Use these printable farm do-a-dot shape mats to help preschoolers learn to use dot markers or playdough to form shapes!

I love teaching shapes to early learners. It’s just plain fun.

There are shapes all around us! So, once you introduce basic shapes to your preschoolers, expect them to point them out everywhere they look.

*Pointing to a window* – “Look, Mommy! A square!”

*Pointing to a plate* – “Look, Mommy! A circle!”

*Me pointing to the toddler bed in which mine should take a nap* – “Look! A rectangle! Don’t you want to get in it?”

(Doesn’t work, by the way.)

These farm shape playdough mats are great for building fine motor skills and shape recognition. And they’re a nice, quiet learning activity for your kids to work with on their own.

Toddlers and preschoolers love to work with preschool playdough mats, such as our Apple Tree Playdough Mat and our Beach Number Playdough Mats.

And these shape playdough mats are tons of fun too! Kids can use dot markers or playdough to make shapes all by themselves.

Fall Playdough Mats

You could also try using stickers instead of markers or laminating them and using them with dry-erase crayons or fingerpaint. There are tons of ways to help kids use these and work on fine motor skills!

Farm Shape Playdough Mats

One thing about laminating these if you plan to use markers. The ink will smudge, so let your child stand up and use the dot marker. You can just rinse it off afterward and reuse it later!
