Supplies for the Leprechaun Playdough Mat
The best part about this themed activity is that you need just a few supplies- which you probably already have at home. Here’s what you’ll need.
- Downloaded and ready Leprechaun playdough mats.
- Playdough in different colors, preferably green, white, black, brown, blue and red.
How to Get Started
Get all your supplies ready and handy. Start by using the example emotions sheet on the side as a reference, and choose one emotion to focus on.
Get your little one to roll out shape the dough such that he can replicate the emotions in the sheet by placing the playdough shapes on the main sheet.
Start with one emotion and then move onto the next.
If you want to make this an even more educative experience, ask your toddler to identify the emotion, and relate it with a time when he experienced it.
