Open-ended playdough mats have been a HUGE hit at our house for the last 2 years. For one, my kids are big time into playdough. There isn’t a day that goes by that my preschooler and toddler don’t ask, “Can we play playdough?”
The open-ended playdough mats are designed to be simple, so that kids can add to them to complete the picture in any way they’d like. They foster creativity and help develop fine motor skills, not to mention other learning objectives.
