Finish the Shape Playdough Mats

Laminate the mats or slide them into sheet protectors so dough wipes off and kids can trace the word with a dry-erase marker. Put two or three mats out at a time at a fine motor center. If dough is not handy, children can lay pipe cleaners, yarn or buttons on the dashed line instead. At home, go on a hunt for one object that matches the mat you just finished.

Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a Kindergarten classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
