Halloween is just a few days away, and I wanted to share these playdough mats I made a while ago. One is a spiderweb and the other is a faceless jack-o-lantern (pumpkin). We have had a lot of fun with playdough mats in the past, though Lore is a bit old for them now. They […]
Printable Playdough Mats: Y and Z
I’m finishing off this Playdough Mat series with letters Y and Z; Y is for Yak and Z is for Zebra. If you are unfamiliar with playdough mats, the concept is super easy to understand – you print & play! You can laminate (or stick in a plastic sheet protector) and use playdough to “color” […]

Printable Playdough Mats: U and V
Today I’m sharing the new printable Playdough Mats that I made – U is for Umbrella, and V is for Vulture! I meant to have all of the letters finished months ago, but between life and the holidays, it didn’t happen. I’m working on the next set at the moment, so expect them soon. You […]
Printable Playdough Mats: S & T
Here are the playdough mats for the letters S & T! I chose to use the sea turtle and tree frog from crafts past. =) You can see our other printable playdough mats here. We stick ours in sheet protectors (you can laminate, though!) and “color” them with playdough. Crayons and markers would work just […]
Printable Playdough Mats: Q & R
The great thing about these Playdough Mats is that you don’t actually have to use playdough! Lorelai has been coloring the latest few with crayons and markers and it works just as well. When we did use playdough, I either laminated the printable or just stuck it in a plastic sheet protector. Both ways worked […]
Printable Playdough Mats: O & P
It seems like I have gotten so behind on all of my little projects since school has started for my daughter.

Printable Playdough Mats: K & L
Learning through play is like sneaking vegetables into your meatloaf – it’s sneaky, and it works. For the children who won’t sit down at the table and practice their letters over and over again, a playdough mat might just come in handy. The way we use the playdough mat is simple. Stick it in a […]
Printable Playdough Mats: I & J
Playdough mats are a fun way to teach letters to young children. They are also great for review for those who already know their letters (like my daughter). Up next are letters I and J. I did plain cones for “I is for ice cream” so that Lorelai (and your kids!) could make their own […]
Printable Playdough Mats: G & H
Playdough mats are a fun way to learn while playing! Whether your child is now learning his/her letters, letter sounds, or you are just in need of a fun diversion, these playdough mats can help.

Printable Playdough Mats: C & D
Playdough mats are a fun way to introduce letters to your child(ren). If you have an older child (like me!) then they are great for just providing a backdrop for playough play. Think: coloring with playdough! I don’t have any action shots of these being played with. I’m saving them for when I have a […]
Printable Playdough Mats: A & B
A couple of weeks ago, I put up two spring-themed, printable playdough mats and they were a bit hit. I mentioned in the post that I would be working my way through the alphabet, and here I am! My daughter is 5.5 and has known her ABCs for years, but she still loves playing with […]
Printable Playdough Mats: E & F
Playdough mats are something I’ve had bouncing around my head for a while. I’ve seen some before on Pinterest, but never really looked into it. I was brainstorming with Lore last night and she thought the ones I came up with were fun. I finished them up this morning and immediately printed them out and […]
