Product Information

All of our free printable playdough mats are open-ended. That means that there is no one ‘correct’ way to use them. This tactile hands on learning is often a lot more effective than teaching with a standard worksheet with young children, and a whole lot of fun! Learning About Emotions Playdough Mats Rather than taking about emotions in an abstract way only, let them get involved with their hands and make something that they can see and touch.

Give them a blank piece of paper or a whiteboard and ask them to have a go. They can use the faces as a reference. What makes you feel scared, and what do you do when you feel scared? What helps you feel better again?Fine motor skills – including hand and finger strength, grasping, manual dexterity and more pre-writing skills. Language and social skills – including talking about what they are making with other children and adults, sharing ideas, sharing items etc. These are a few topics to explore while making some scared faces together with your playdough. Worried Face Playdough Mat As toddlers get older they can start to understand that what makes them happy and what makes other people happy are not always the same thing. Are there any other ways of showing that emotion? An angry face for example can look different on different people. Use a mirror for children to have a go?

If your child is interested, you can also make the letters of the alphabet to spell out the names of each feeling written at the top of each playdoh mat. More Playdough ActivitiesThe first 8 are included in this printable play dough mat set, but you can expand the activity and use the blank faces to explore other emotions and talk about what kind of situations can make us feel these emotions. What does a worried face look like, and how do you create that shape from play dough? What kind of things make you feel worried? Silly Face Playdough Mat
