There’s just something about playing with playdough that captures kids’ attention. I loved playdough as a child. Every child I knew loved playdough. In fact, I don’t think I’ve met a kid yet who doesn’t like playdough. (Of course, now that I’ve said that, I’ll probably meet one tomorrow.)
When I was young, I had no idea that playing with playdough could be educational, but it can! Preschool playdough mats can be used to build fine motor skills, to make shapes, and to learn to form letters and numbers.
These alphabet and number winter playdough mats are perfect for little ones who are working on numbers and letters this year! Read on to see how to get your copy!

This set of playdough mats features 26 letter mats that show both uppercase and lowercase letters, as well as 10 number mats that show the numerals 0-9.
If you want to use them more than once, be sure to laminate them so they’ll last longer.
Kids can roll playdough into “ropes” and then connect them to form the uppercase and lowercase letters.
Challenge the kids to find “wintery” playdough colors to use for this activity!

If you’re doing a letter of the week program, you can focus on one letter per week and add in activities that reinforce letter recognition and early phonics practice!
