My youngest two {ages 2 and 4} enjoyed our NEW Fall Playdough Mats just yesterday. In the pack, you’ll find 8 fall-themed playdough mats including mats for apples, pumpkins, and Thanksgiving.

 

Ideas for the Fall Playdough Mats:

  1. apple basket- add apples to the basket
  2. apple tree- add apples to the tree
  3. scarecrow- add a hat, scarf, straw, a face, etc.
  4. fall tree- add colorful leaves to the tree or ground
  5. raking leaves- add the prongs or handle to the rake
  6. pumpkin- add a face or vines to the pumpkin
  7. turkey- add colorful tail feathers
  8. Mayflower- add sails to the ship or water below

To play with the open-ended fall playdough mats, just print them off, slip them into a plastic sleeve protector {or laminate them}, add some playdough and let the creativity begin!  I love that my kiddos are also using their hands and fingers to strengthen those fine motor muscles used for writing!
