We love exploring colors. There are so many things you can do with color. This week we started working on the color words. I thought it would be fun to have a playdough mats to help with this. These are fun and easy to use and you could do almost anything with them.
Colors are a great preschool and kindergarten theme to explore. You can do it all year around or as part of the seasonal theme. You can do so much with them.
This is the next color themed printable. These color playdough mats have a color word and samples of color. They match up really nicely with the Color Coloring Pages.

We like to put the pages in sheet protectors or laminate
them so we can use them over and over. I try and match up the playdough
with the color. It makes for fun hands on learning.

Don’t limit yourself to just thinking you can only use playdough with them. We often use other items to fill in the spaces. Try some of these ideas:
- Any color set of buttons
- tissue paper
- stickers
- crayons
- finger paints
What you will find in these printables:
- Word out line and 2 pictures of the color on each page
- 11 pages
- Colors words: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink, black, brown, white, and gray
Here are some other things to use with these Color Word Playdough Mats printables:
