I love giving my little learner crew all of the elements they need to work on their fine motor skills and put their imaginations to work at the same time. This Halloween play dough tray is just the thing for a fun Halloween activity that also lends to fine motor development and exploring different textures…
I have a super fun free printable for you today. These free printable kids’ Christmas placemats are so fun and such a creative way to get festive for the holidays. I have two placemats for you to download- one for Santa’s treats (and the reindeer’s), plus a placemat for the kiddos to color and decorate…
I have another fun free playdough mat to share with you today- Pumpkin Pie playdough mats! You guys loved my pumpkin and apple Fall playdough mats that I created so I’ve really been meaning to make some more.
