Johnny Appleseed Play Dough Mats

Description

These Johnny Appleseed play dough mats are a great addition to your Johnny Appleseed unit as well as providing students with a fun, engaging and hands on activity to work on their number / counting skills.

Play dough is a great motivator for many students and can also be a great learning tool within the classroom. These play dough mats will help provide that extra learning experience while continuing the theme of Johnny Appleseed within your learning environment.

This resource includes col and b/w option for each Play Dough Mat.

The play dough mats are all linked to the theme of Johnny Appleseed. They are a low prep activity, simply print out the play dough mats you intend to use and laminate them so they will be stronger, longer lasting and re-usable.

There are 3 different types of play dough mats;
♦ Read how many apples Johnny can see then make them out of play dough
♦ Count the apple and make the number (comes with outline/prompt)
♦ Fill in ten frames

These play dough mats are a great way to introduce the topic of Johnny Appleseed into your setting, or even as an additional resource to include in your Johnny Appleseed unit. We created our own red play-dough and added some apple flavoured spray to give our play-dough more of a sensory touch. Then we had the students use this play-dough on their mats and it was a huge hit!
