Play dough is multi-sensory, engaging, creative, and open-ended. Talk about PURPOSEFUL PLAY! These play dough plates are a perfect way to strengthen those small muscles and reinforce letter recognition.
What? plastic plates, play dough, permanent marker
How? Write letters on the plastic plates with a permanent marker. Children roll the play dough and place it on top of the letters. Challenge them to make something that starts with that sound.
Hint! I traced around the letter on the front and back of the plate. You can use upper case letters, lowercase letters, or both like I do.
Number Plates
Write numbers on plastic plates. Children can roll play dough and place it on top of the numbers and then make sets to equal that amount. Can they make different combinations of six?
Shape Plates
You can also make shape plates for the children to reproduce.
