Nativity Playdough Mats

I knew I was going to make these Nativity Playdough Mats as soon as I saw this cute clipart!  Finding ways to explore the Christmas story with my kids has always been a highlight of the season.  I have such fond memories of my family’s nativity set and the Christmas books that would come out each year.  My hope is that these Nativity Playdough Mats will be another way to bring the hope of Jesus’s birth to our kids each Christmas.

How to Use Nativity Playdough Mats:

First, print off your Nativity Mats.  I highly recommend laminating these or putting them in a sheet protector. I love these mats because all your child really has to be able to do is roll the playdough into a snake shape.  Then take the snake and mold it onto the mat following the pictures.  

I have also included some alphabet practice in these mats!  Your child can use playdough to create the letter.  Then look at the grid with letters and use your playdough to cover all the matching letters.  This is also a great time to talk about the sound each letter makes!

I wish you and your family joy and peace this Christmas season.  I hope these playdough mats bring some extra joy and fun too!!
