These totally free printable playdough alphabet mats make learning ABCs so much fun. Learning the alphabet is so important for preschoolers and exposing children to the alphabet and letters through play is a great way to help them learn.

My kids are totally obsessed with playdough. We do playdough almost every day and for Christmas I was looking for a few playdough related toys and accessories for them. I was surprised to see that there weren’t a lot of educational playdough toys (although we did get some fun ones and one really messy one).

⭐ Why use playdough mats?

I love these super fun playdough mats because they are very hands on. Not only are children exposed to seeing the letters but they are working on their fine motor skills. They are also learning in a very relaxed and playful manner.

I prefer to do these mats one letter at time and they are great if your child needs to work mastering a certain letter. Another fun idea for these mats would be to do the phonics sounds along with the letter while doing these.

⭐ Easy for parents or teachers

These alphabet playdough mats are easy peasy for parents or preschool teachers to prep. These are so easy to print out, laminate (or use a sheet protector), and then break out the playdough.

I love doing all kinds of crafts and activities with my kiddos but sometimes I just need something easy to pull out on a rainy day or a day where I’m not feeling so energetic. These are an easy and low prep activity.

You can reuse these mats by either laminating them or by using sheet protectors. Amazon has some great laminators for home use but sheet protectors are also super easy and can also be reused for other printables as well.

You can also place the pages back to back to make them double sided instead of laminating all 26 pages!

⭐ How to set up these playdough mats

To use these alphabet playdough mats, first print and then laminate or put the sheets in a page protector. Have your child either roll the playdough to form a line or smush the playdough into the letter. These printables include both uppercase and lowercase for each letter.
