A fun way to work on fine motor skills is with these Planet Themed Playdough Mats. Children will enjoy working on their fine motor skills as they mould the playdough into the correct shapes that relate to a variety of different planets and other space themed items. They will enjoy learning to control their hand, fingers and thumb movements which they will need throughout their life while learning about all things planets.
Check out the list of materials that we use with these printables.
Planets Themed Playdough Mats Activity
Enhance your child’s motor and sensory skills along with their concentration skill with these wonderful planets themed printables.
This activity can instil a love of learning about planets while engaging your child in a fun hands-on activity. In creating various planet themed items while practicing to write the name of the object in the lines, they will be working on their fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination.
This play dough mat pack contains 10 full page playdough worksheets. Children can follow the colours on the mats or create the planets out of colours that they choose. They are able to write the name of the item before or after creating the picture from playdough.
These worksheets can be laminated before using as then they can easily be wiped clean. Children will then use a dry-erase marker to write the name.
