I have worked all year long and never got the time to get my activities up on TPT! I have tweaked and researched and I am finally ready to share my stuff!!! I make things that I want to use and that I know other preschool/kindergarten teachers will use. I love all of the cute things I that I have seen and I thought to myself, you know, I can do this too!!! I have included a preview of the product with some pictures of my students using them.
I began the year by making play dough activities. I wanted to change up my play dough and make it a bit more educational and meaningful. I had kids in my class who were using their creativity, and they were strengthening their fine motor, but seemed to need more. I started with the play dough mats. Here you can see how much fun these can be!
My students love rolling out the "worms" for the numbers and then using a real plastic knife and cutting off cylinders for the marshmallows in the mugs! I have also had fun using these during teacher evaluations. My bosses love that I can sit and assess as they are learning! Shocking, right?!
Here is a sneak peak into my other great play dough mats...
Flower Play Dough Counting Mats
This game is my favorite one... Play Dough Pizza Math Mats!!! I found the greatest clip art from the 3A.M. Teacher! It was calling my name. I have not used this one yet but I cannot wait to try it. I am going to print it and try it out with my twin girls! I know they will love it!
