Play-Doh Mats
Many Play-Doh sets like the ones from the Shape and Learn collection have interactive mats included with them. They provide a non-stick surface for kids to put their Play-Doh on while helping to make the whole experience more interactive and fun. You can take a look at one of them right here.

And we have a special free download for you today!
I’ve made a collection of open-ended mats that are perfect for using with Play-Doh. Just download, print, and use with your kids! If you have access to a laminating machine, you’ll want to laminate these printable mats. Another option is to slide each one into a page protector and store them all in a 3-ringed binder until it’s playtime.
Open-ended play dough mats are intended to be picture prompts for creativity. They have simple designs so there is plenty of room for kids to add to them with their Play-Doh.
These particular mats were inspired by a trip to the Farmers Market–one of our favorite family outings. With the mats and a few containers of Play-Doh, kids can pretend to plant and grow their own vegetables, sell them at a market, keep track of their money, make their own purchases, cook a tasty meal, and take the food on the road for a picnic outing. Isn’t imagination an exciting thing?!
Printable Mats Include:
- Garden bed just waiting for plants to be added
- Market table to fill with produce or other products to sell
- Piggy bank to make, store, and count bills and coins
- Tote bag to fill with your purchases
- Bowl with spoon to make a delicious meal
- Picnic setting that needs some food and fun details

Benefits of Play-Doh® Molding Compound
Just in case these cute printable mats aren’t enough to make you want to break out the Play-Doh, here are some additional benefits.
-
Fine Motor Skills: All of the squeezing and molding strengthens muscle tone in the hands which in turn helps with fine motor skills.
-
Calming: Play-Doh is like a child’s version of a Zen garden or stress ball. It’s relaxing and soothing for a child to sit and manipulate Play-Doh in their hands. For many kids, keeping their hands busy even helps to improve their focus.
-
Creative Thinking: Providing a child with Play-Doh also provides them with the opportunity to create! There is no limit to what they can mold and make. It’s an open-ended activity that builds their creativity. It’s also an opportunity to explore various art concepts.
-
Social Skills: Any activity that brings kids and parents together for some quality time builds social skills. And I’m sure we can all agree that quality time together is another valuable perk.
-
Following Directions: Whether it’s following your verbal instructions or directions on a Play-Doh mat, playing with Play-Doh provides kids with a hands-on opportunity to sharpen their listening skills and skills with following directions.
-
Hand-eye Coordination: Set out Play-Doh with cookie cutters, rolling pins, stamps, and other Play-Doh utensils. As kids are picking up items to play and create, they are unknowingly practicing hand-eye coordination.
-
Imaginative Play: The sky is the limit for Play-Doh! Hand a child a container of Play-Doh and there’s no telling what it will become in their eyes. Let your child’s imagination soar as they engage in this open-ended, sensory experience.
-
Academic Skills: Turn Play-Doh into a science lesson. It molds into a great fossil, volcano, ecosystem, or planet. Use cookie cutters and stamps shaped liked letters and numbers to practice literacy and numeracy skills. Use the dough to teach colors and shapes. There are Play-Doh sets in the Shape and Learn collection that have all the tools you need to practice many of these skills. Keep in mind that these are just a few suggestions for the numerous educational experiences that can extend from playing with Play-Doh.
