How to use spring playdough mats for toddlers
For toddlers, I recommend using playdough or finger paints.
You can also put glue on the dots and let your toddler sprinkle glitter on them or add other materials, for instance, buttons or pompons.
Yes, they are called playdough mats for a reason, yet it’s totally up to you to decide how you want to use them.
You can obviously let your toddler use playdough to fill up the dots. And there again, are many ways you can go about it, depending on your child’s age and skills. You can laminate the picture first to prevent the playdough from sticking and in that way you can definitely reuse them. Or you can skip the laminating part, decide to make a mini artwork out of them, and let the playdough stick to the paper on purpose.
You can let your toddler do it all by themselves, or if they’re a little too young you can help them choose the right colors and make little playdough balls so it’s easier for the to fill up the white dots.
You can let your child use paint instead. Either with a paintbrush or simply use finger paints.
Another option is…be creative. Use glue and glitter, buttons, paper dots, pompons, and more.
To be honest, my son is about to turn two, so I’m creating most of my printables to match his age and skills. Hence, this printable is designed for younger kids. I added only dots, instead of various shapes. I made the dots quite big and I made sure there aren’t too many of them.
