The Benefits of Playing with the Apple Playdough Printables

When we think of playdough play, we know that it boosts fine motor skills, but playing with playdough also develops creativity, problem-solving skills, and language.

Playdough play encourages creativity and imagination. The playdough images on the apple life cycle playdough mats are black and white. This causes the student to imagine what colors of playdough to use. Students can also add extra features to the mats such as sunshine or clouds.

Children can try different approaches to completing the tasks without breaking anything. This encourages problem-solving skills.

The life cycle of an apple playdough activities will also encourage language and literacy. Students will review or learn some new vocabulary words such as seed, sprout, and sapling.

Creating with playdough gives children a sense of accomplishment. (“I did it!” I’m good at this!”).

What’s Included in the Apple Life Cycle Playdough Mats?

This file includes two playdough mats and a set of four playdough cards.

The first mat is for beginning readers who are learning alphabet sounds: A is for Apple.

The second playdough mat and the cards can be used to teach your student about the life cycle of an apple tree.

After the student learns the life cycle, cut apart the cards and let your student sequence them before creating the seed, sprout, sapling, and apple tree.
