A-Z Playdough Letters – Kneating Fun - Alphabet A-/

Introduce a fun and interactive way for preschoolers, first graders, and students in special education to engage with letters and sounds through our A-Z Playdough Mats. Perfect for classroom use or home activities, these mats combine creativity with essential learning goals.

What You’ll Get:

This set includes 52 playdough mats, each designed to cover the entire alphabet twice—once with uppercase and once with lowercase letters. Every mat features a friendly image to guide children in understanding the correct pronunciation of each letter sound.

How to Use:

• Letter Formation: Kids use playdough to shape each letter on the mat.

• Sound-Associated Objects: Children mold objects that either start with the given sound (for uppercase) or include it somewhere in the word (for lowercase).

• Sound Recognition: By forming small playdough balls, children can indicate where they hear the sound within a word—beginning, middle, or end. Uppercase letters offer two correct and one incorrect example, while lowercase sounds appear in various positions within the words provided.

Flexible Use: These mats allow for tailored learning—focus solely on uppercase, lowercase, or mix both types as needed.

Pro Tip: Enhance durability by printing uppercase and lowercase letters on opposite sides of the same sheet or sticking them together and then laminating.

Printing Guidelines:

• For uppercase letters, print only the odd-numbered pages (5-55).

• For lowercase letters, print the even-numbered pages (6-56).

• For a double-sided option, use short-edge flip for pages 5-56.

To keep your mats in good condition and prevent playdough residue, either laminate the pages or place them in protective sleeves. Additionally, a budget-friendly DIY playdough recipe is included for your convenience.

Happy learning!
