Each page in this set features a spring themed image and the matching vocabulary word in a dotted font to trace. If your child or students aren’t ready to practice writing their letters, you can skip the word tracing section. Instead of buying lots of Play Doh that will get mixed up, I bought a bag of Costco flour and some food coloring to make my own.

Materials needed for spring play dough activity mats
You don’t need much to use these play dough activity mats for spring. Here’s a look at the supplies you’ll need:
Your free printable (look for the row of purple arrows lower down in the post) Printer access & paper or card stock Laminator or page protectors/dry erase pockets Page protectors are easier to keep organized, dry erase pockets are more durable Play dough! Stock up with a multipack or make your own A dry or wet erase marker or, our favorite Stabilo Woodies
We enjoy using our Stabilo Woodies. They are a large dry erase crayon that you can use to write, color, and draw. They also have a little more friction than a marker, which makes them better for improving fine motor strength.
How to use play dough activity mats
Play dough mats are very easy to use. They encourage fine motor skills, finger strength development, and even color matching. First, print out your pages. To make the pages reusable, slide each page into a dry erase pocket before use. Your child, or student, makes play dough “snakes” and lays them out to cover each image. The images are large, so it’s okay if the snake is a bit skinnier than the drawing on the activity mat. Each page has the featured vocabulary word in a tracing font for your child to trace. If your child or students aren’t ready to trace using a pencil, they can use a finger or skip this portion of the activity.
