These fun St. Patrick’s Day play dough mats can help children develop both fine motor and counting skills.
With 14 fun St. Patrick’s Day images to choose from, kids will roll, press and shape their dough. Once finished, they’ll read the number on their St. Patrick’s Day play dough mat and “smash” or cover that many items. Combining play with learning.
These play dough mats are printed two per page and there are 2 file choices to choose from.
File 1 consists of 2 of the same St. Patrick’s Day mats per page. This would be ideal if you’d like each student to work on the same play dough mat.
File 2 consists of 2 different St. Patrick play dough mats per page. This is perfect for using in centers or if you are printing to keep in a play dough tub for free play.
These play dough mats would be a fun, hands-on addition to any March or St. Patrick’s Day theme!
