Penguin1

Play
Roll the dice once to see which color you should make the hat using the rubric below. Then roll again for the color scarf and a last time to get the color of the mittens.

Each time a child plays the end result of the penguin’s winter accessories can look different. What fun! Play with a friend and compare your penguins or copy each other penguins.

Educational value: This penguin playdough mat develops number and color recognition skills. Also, knowing that the number dots on the dice represents the number(number sense). You can provide a dice with numbers and not dots to work on matching the number and dots in the rubric. Fine motor muscles in the hands and fingers are being used to form the hat, scarf and mittens. And then of course following a rubric, a simple one like this is perfect to start with..

    I found your site through the 12 Penguin Activities post I received from Alex at the Kindergarten Connection. I would really like to implement your penguin and snowman playdough mats into my classroom. Wonderful fun way to integrate fine motor, number sense and colour! …but for the life of me I can’t figure out how to download them.

    Thank you
