Please tell me that I’m not the only one that has a love/hate relationship with Playdough! My 2 and 5 year old play it at least 3 or 4 times a week! I love how much they love it and how creative they are with it, but I also know that I’ll have a mess to clean up off the floor after! I recently designed these fun Learning Shapes Playdough Mats and I wanted to share them all with you today!
My kids have loved playing with them the last 6 weeks, since I designed them! They’re super easy to print at home, because they are designed to print on an 8.5×11 piece of cardstock!
We start by rolling out lots and lots of “snakes!”
My kids like to trace the shape, as well as make mini-snakes to trace out the spelling of the shape name. My 5 year old is really into forming words right now and loves practicing the spelling of the shapes!!
Today I’m offering you 7 different shape options! All are 8.5 x 11 Printable Shape Playdough Mats!! I like to print them in full color on a thick cardstock. Then I run them through my home laminator! And that’s it! Then just hand them over to your kiddos and they’ll have hours of fun playing with them!
Make sure and check out our favorite Stay Soft Playdough recipe!

You. Are. Darling! Printed and THANK YOU!!! And I’m totally with you on the love/hate of play-dough. The smell is just gag-worthy, and the mess? But hey, it helps entertain and keep a kiddo creative!
