Learning about families is an important topic for a child to learn about. Talking about family members, what roles they play in the family, and who makes up your family are all great things to discuss. One way to do that is with family play dough mats.
I did this recently with my preschooler and he loved it! We made faces on each of the mats and talked about our family. I’m excited to share these play dough mats with you today!

What You Need for Family Play Dough Mats:
This activity is very simple to do. All you need are the play dough mats (link at the bottom of this post) and play dough.
Before doing the activity with your child, talk about the body parts on the face: eyes, ears, hair, nose, and mouth.

The file says I need a password to print?
It should print without a password. Let me know if it still isn’t working for you.
These are great! Is there any way to get them in Spanish? I’d love to incorporate them into our curriculum!
I can make those! I’ll email you when I’m done. Great idea!
