How to use this alphabet play dough printable
You can print as many copies of the alphabet play mats as you need for your family, group or class. You’ll find them in the Literacy section of The Amazing Play Dough Printables Pack.
You might like to laminate the printable so you can use it time and time again.
Set out the play mat with some homemade play dough, and perhaps some extra loose parts, and invite your children to play.
What letter have they got? What starts with that letter? Can they build it out of play dough?
Alternatively, you can set out the play mat with markers and invite your children to draw in the snail shell.
