Spilt Milk Play Dough Mats

Are you looking for book activities for your kids to do after reading their favorite stories? Then, you have to grab these free printable Spilt Milk Play Dough Mats! 

After reading the creative and imaginative book, It Looked Like Spilt Milk by Charles G Shaw, your students can create the cloud shapes using these mats and dough. 

This multi-sensory resource can be used as an independent activity with children of all ages in any early childhood classroom or homeschool.

 

From the feel to the smell of it, play dough is one of my favorite sensory play tools.

As your kids use play dough in this book-inspired activity, they will be using their different senses to process and learn.

By squeezing, rolling, and squishing the play dough in their hands, your kids will also develop their dexterity, fine motor skills, hand muscle strength and more.

These skills are so important for both pre-readers and pre-writers!
