About this resource

Letter P Playdough Mats These printable letter P playdough mats allow Nursery, Reception and Year 1 children to build fine motor skills while learning the beginning letter sound of words associated with pizza, pumpkin, pie, penguin, pig, and pickle images. Students use playdough to recreate the P objects on laminated mats that can be reused. Teachers can implement this no-prep activity during centres or small groups to assess shape and colour matching, letter recognition, and phonics skills. Fine motor muscles are built through the tactile motions of rolling, pressing, and shaping playdough. Associating beginning letter sounds happens by verbally labelling creations and images that start with the letter P sound. Print, laminate, and add playdough to sets of the mats for an engaging, hands-on activity that develops key readiness skills.
