This is a great addition to the playdough mats<\/a> and space printables <\/a>on the site.<\/p>\n Playdough mats are a great way for kids to build fine motor skills while teaching skills like ABCs, numbers, and shapes.<\/p>\n But you can also use playdough mats to work on sight words, CVC words, and more. There is no limit on the way a playdough mat can be used.<\/p>\n I love having fun and different activities that I can change up. That is where these star playdough mats come from. Fun ideas we have done before but in a new theme. These are similar to the dinosaur shape mats<\/a>.<\/p>\n Each star shape playdough mat has a shape that is made with by stars. Each of the stars is connected to make the shape in the night sky. <\/p>\n Thses star shape mats are a great addition to the shape printables<\/a> on the site.<\/p>\n Because this is a space playdough mat I wanted to have a fun black background for the mat! I thought it would be so much fun to use. But because I know that not everyone likes printing tons of black ink I made sure to include a white background option as well.<\/p>\n I printed out the white version on stardust cardstock<\/a> to make them still be a little fun.<\/p>\n You are going to find a circle playdough mat, a square playdough mat, a triangle playdough mat, a rectangle playdough mat, a rhombus playdough mat \/ a diamond playdough mat, an oval playdough mat, a heart playdough mat, a star playdough mat, a crescent playdough mat, a hexagon playdough mat, an octagon playdough mat.<\/p>\n We have included links to some of the products and resources we have used with this activity. If you purchase via the links we may earn a small commission<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n I am going to show you a few ways to use these space shape playdough mats.<\/p>\n I love to put the space playdough mats in sheet protectors because I can pull out just the mats I need or put the mats back to back. If you plan to use them over and over then I recommend laminating<\/a> them.<\/p>\n The most basic way you can use these is a playdough mat. You can make playdough<\/a> snakes and put them around the shape. We used yellow playdough<\/a>.<\/p>\n But you might also like this fun glow in the dark play dough<\/a>.<\/p>\n One way you can use the star shape playdough mats is to place star buttons<\/a> on each of the stars on the mat. It is a great one to one correspondence. Plus they can see how the stars make the shape.<\/p>\n If you have printed the star shape playdough mats with the black background, put it in a sheet protector or laminate it and kids can practice tracing the shape with a black dry erase marker<\/a>. You can watch the white line disappear.<\/p>\n Another way to do this star shape playdough mat is to cover the stars with playdough circles. We do this a lot. Or you could roll playdough our and use a star cookie cutter<\/a> to make star shapes.<\/p>\n After you are done and looking for more space shape printable activities check out the space themed shape find<\/a>!
