Play Dough Potato Head

I love, love, love play dough for fine motor skills.  Keep the students from getting bored by adding new fun ways to play.  I have a bunch of Mr. Potato Head pieces and I let the kids form a potato head body and add all the fun pieces.  I have seen a some pumpkin pieces at the Dollar Store that you could buy to add to this center. 

Playdough mats

I made a bunch of easy play dough mats for the kids.  I used rainbow colors since that is the theme for our room.  Then I used a sharpee and drew a round face, ears and neck.  I laminated each of them and the I put took some photos some with play dough on them and printed them out so they would have some examples.  They loved this and got quite creative making different faces.  Some added earrings or necklaces, some added tongues or teeth.
