About this resource
These letter G playdough mats allow students to build those fine motor muscles while learning about things that begin with the letter G. Each mat features a picture of a word that starts with G for students to use playdough to create.
These mats are suitable to Early Years and Year 1 children who are learning about the initial sound of the letter G and those who need extra practice building up their fine motor skills.
There are 4 different playdough mats in this set:
* G is for glasses
* G is for goldfish
* G is for guitar
* G is for gate

The playdough mats themselves are no prep. The teacher will simply print them out, and laminate them if desired and place them in the appropriate centre or activity area. All that needs to be added to this activity is different coloured playdough or clay.
These mats not only provide a fun and engaging activity for students to practise fine motor skills, they also provide a way for students to associate the initial sound of the letter G to recognisable pictures. Teachers will love the easy set up for this centre activity.
By laminating these pages, teachers will have a reusable playdough centre for students to use over and over. The playdough should not stick to the laminated pages. If laminating is not an option, I would recommend placing the playdough mats inside page protectors or in plastic sleeves. The playdough will not stick to their surfaces as well.
