About this resource
What's inside this resource
Letter O Playdough Mats allow students to build fine motor skills while learning about words that begin with the short and long O sound. These printable mats feature pictures of objects like an octopus, ocean, and olive for students to recreate with playdough. Suitable for preschoolers and kindergartners learning phonics or needing extra fine motor practice, these mats provide a fun, engaging alphabet activity for individual, small group, or center work. The 3 mats are easy to set up - simply print, laminate if desired, and provide playdough. As students mold playdough to match the pictures, they will strengthen fine motor control while associating O with beginning sounds. Teachers will appreciate the reusable, no-prep activity that promotes engaged learning.
