Benefits of Playing with the Playdough Flowers Printable Mats

When we think of playdough play, we know that all the squishing, twisting, and turning boosts fine motor skills, but playing with playdough also develops creativity, problem-solving skills, and language. Playdough is playful learning at its best.

Playdough play encourages experimenting and problem-solving. Children can try different approaches to completing the tasks without breaking anything—because it’s just dough!
This set of playdough mats will also encourage language and literacy. Students will learn or review some new vocabulary words such as flower names: pansy, daffodil, daisy, and hyacinth.
Students will also learn or review these color words: purple, yellow, white, blue, red, orange, and pink. You can also reinforce green by asking students to build green stems.
Creating with playdough is also wonderful for children because it gives them a sense of pride when they complete a task.
