Have your little ones been learning about 2d shapes? Then you might like adding this simple fine motor activity to their weekly or even daily routine.

Not only will they learn about shapes, but kids will also work those hand muscles while rolling out pieces of colorful playdough.

Children can choose they favorite colors of playdough and make these basic 2d shapes: circle, triangle, square, oval, rectangle, rhombus, star and heart.

The activity is very simple and it goes like this:

First, children will make the shapes outlines with playdough. They will roll out small pieces into what my kids and I call “snakes” and connect them together to make the shape.

Then they can fill the smaller shapes with more playdough. And of course, children can even choose different colors of playdough within one mat to make things more interesting!

This will be a fun homeschooling activity as well as classroom centers activity when learning to recognize shapes in preschool.

Each playdough mat has the shape’s name written at the bottom as well as bunch of smaller sized shapes to color or trace.
