About this resource

Letter X Playdough Mats These printable playdough mats allow Early Years and Year 1 children to build fine motor skills while learning the letter X. Each of the 3 mats features a clear picture of a word starting or ending with the X sound. As students mould playdough to match the images, they will practise letter recognition, beginning sounds, colour matching and dexterity. Teachers can use these no-prep mats in centres focused on fine motor skills, playdough, the alphabet or literacy. They work for whole groups, small groups, morning tubs and tabletop activities. Simply print out the pages and laminate them for durability if desired. By reusing these engaging tactile mats, students will gain experience forming letters and distinguishing pictures representing the letter X sound.
