About this resource

Letter D Playdough Mats allow Early Years and Year 1 students to build fine motor skills while learning the letter D. Students use playdough to mould objects that start with the letter D onto activity mats. The 4 mats feature clear images of a duck, diamond, dice, and donut. Children recognise initial letter sounds and match playdough colours to the objects. Teachers can use the mats during literacy centres, small groups, tabletop activities, and more. The no-prep mats target fine motor development, colour matching, and phonics. Simply print, laminate if desired, and add playdough. The durable mats are reusable for multiple school years. Students engage in open-ended creation while connecting the letter D to the beginning sounds of words. Fine motor practice helps develop pre-writing abilities.
