Letter R Playdough Mats

Letter R Playdough Mats These playdough mats allow preschool and kindergarten students to build fine motor skills while learning about the letter R. Each of the 3 mats features a picture of a word that starts with R, like rake, rainbow, rain, rocket, and ring. As students mold playdough to match the images, they will practice beginning letter sounds, letter recognition, color matching, and fine motor control. Teachers can implement this versatile activity in literacy centers, playdough stations, morning tubs, and small groups. Since the mats are no-prep, they can easily be paired with playdough for independent practice. Consider laminating the pages to create a reusable, mess-free activity. Skills practiced include early phonics, letter ID, fine motor strength, and visual discrimination. This engaging resource promotes active learning while assessing multiple key kindergarten readiness skills.
