About 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 Early Years and Year 1 children learning phonics or needing extra fine motor practice, these mats provide a fun, engaging alphabet activity for individual, small group, or centre work. The 3 mats are easy to set up - simply print, laminate if desired, and provide playdough. As students mould 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.
