Thanksgiving Play Dough Mats | 24 Fall Fine Motor Pictures

Build a fall picture one dough rope at a time. Children roll dough, bend it into loops and curves, and lay it on a large picture guide. Three illustrated steps on each mat show how the parts fit together.

This 50-page US Letter PDF includes 24 original Thanksgiving and autumn designs in two print styles. The color mats show where to place each dough color. The black-line mats leave the large placement guide uncolored while keeping the small step pictures in color. Designs include a pumpkin, turkey, bread roll, acorn, corn, harvest basket, sailing ship, and wishbone.

Print the mats in landscape orientation at actual size. Use a reusable sleeve or laminate the page before adding dough. Provide dough separately and model the first few ropes before children try a mat on their own. Use the mats for preschool, kindergarten, and first-grade fine motor centers, small groups, or November morning tubs.
