Space Playdough Mats

Space Discovery Mats: Print, Laminate, and Play!

As a children’s author, I believe that every child is the narrator of their own discovery. These Space Playdough Mats aren't just activities—they are "story-starters" designed to bridge the gap between tactile play and early literacy.

With this instant 7 page PDF download, your child becomes the explorer. They can sculpt the rugged craters of the Moon, swirl the stormy clouds of Jupiter, and then—using the "Write & Wipe" section—master the names of the celestial bodies they’ve just created.

Why this set belongs in your learning library:

• Tactile Literacy: Research shows that kids retain more when they involve their hands. Writing the planet names while sculpting them creates a powerful "brain-to-hand" connection.
• Endless Reusability: Designed to be laminated! Use them as dry-erase mats for daily handwriting practice and sensory fun.
• Creative World-Building: Perfect for pairing with your favourite space-themed books (like mine!) to bring the story off the page and onto the table.
• Teacher-Approved PDF: High-resolution, easy-to-print designs that look beautiful in a classroom or a cosy home learning nook.

"In every lump of dough, there’s a planet waiting to be formed. In every planet, there’s a name waiting to be written."
