Alphabet Playdough Mats - Tropical Theme
These tropical themed Alphabet Playdough Mats were created for students in the first years of primary school. They provide templates to help students learn to correctly form each lowercase and uppercase letter of the alphabet using playdough or other concrete materials. Each set has been specifically designed in various school fonts.

Learning goals
- We are learning to write known lower case and upper case letters using learned letter formations, functional posture and pencil grip.
- We are learning to write known lower case and upper case letters using learned letter formations, correct posture and pencil grip.
- We are learning to partition and combine collections up to 10 using counting strategies.
- We are learning to connect number names, numerals and quantities to 10.
- We are learning to recognise and name the number of objects in a collection up to 5 using subitising.
- We are learning to subitise small collections of objects.
- We are learning to write words using unjoined lower case and upper case letters using functional pencil grip.
- We are learning to form all upper and lower-case letters correctly.
