Playdough mats are the coolest thing since sliced bread! 

What do you think? 

They are a great way for littles to become even more engaged with playdough. 

And, the coolest thing is that playdough mats can be taken on the go, while waiting at a restaurant for your food, in a school setting or even when you are just right at home. 

I’ll be sharing below how we like to go about using these free summer playdough mats and how you can go about using them too!

How we use these Printable Summer Playdough Mats

I like to set out a different set of colored playdough on a table in their playroom. 

Then, we talk about biggest to smallest or smallest to biggest with the watermelon sheets. 

Or, we talk about the difference between a popsicle and an ice cream with the popsicle/ice cream sheet. 

So many different ways to go about these summer pictures of playdough sheets for learning in a fun way!
