Benefits of the Shape Playdough Mats

The shape playdough mats provide several benefits for your little learners:

Strengthens Grip
Squeezing, squishing, and warming up the playdough helps to strengthen your student’s grip.

Builds Fine Motor Skills
Rolling the dough into pieces and flattening it to fill the shape on the playdough mat helps boost your student’s fine motor skills.

Boosts Creativity
After your student builds the shape, give your student a challenge to turn the shape into something. For instance, a circle could become a clown face or a bicycle wheel.

Analyze Shapes
You can also use the playdough mats to help your student analyze two-dimensional shapes. Ask questions. Is an oval like a circle? How are they the same? How are they different? How many sides does a triangle have? How many sides does a square have? Which one of the shapes looks the most like a balloon?
