Play Dough Activity Mats Busy Bag: Printables!

If you don’t already know, I’m slightly obsessed with busy bags at our house. We probably have over 100 of them. Here’s theĀ magic in action:

These make awesome gifts! You can get them for super cheap in our shop.
Play Doh Activity Mats Gift

play dough activity mats

I designed these play dough activity games to teach skills for molding shapes of familiar objects that they can visualize and then create. Carrots, chocolate chips, apples on a tree, candles, legs on octopus, sand castle, burgers on a grill, worms, bubbles, pancakes, snowman face, glasses and mustache on a boy, etc.free printable play dough activity mats

Play Dough Activity Mat Instructions

I designed two of the play doh mats on 1 page. Ā This makes the play dough mats printer-friendly and easy to fit in any bag or box. I used my laminator to laminate each half sheet (I like this laminator pouch thickness best, but anywhere from 3-7 will work fine).bunny and carrot play doh


At home with the kids? Instantly access any of these printable activity bundles to keep them learning!


I usedĀ my SilhouetteĀ to cut out the words on a heat transfer sheet. Then I ironed them to these little tote bags.Ā grill play doh

They turned out so stinkin’ cute.Ā gold fish play doh

The fun thing about play dough activity mats is they can be used again and again and again and laminators are so cheap these days.build a sand castle play-doh

The play dough activity mats are also great for a variety of ages.Ā These are great for preschoolers or even kindergarteners!

Look how cute this birthday cakeĀ is!play-doh busy bag

Play dough activity mats work great at home as a quiet time activity, a learning activity with mom, or even as down time when you are waiting to order food at a restaurant!Play Dough activity mat printables

If you don’t have a laminator, or need a quick activity and don’t have time to laminate, I like to keep these wipeable pocketsĀ on hand for moments when I want to just print something off and use it really quick.play-doh busy bag play-doh busy bag worms play doh

Hi. My name is Chelsey! I have an amazing husband and 4 beautiful kiddos. I love photography, doing DIY and creating my own. I collect vintage suitcase, bags and high waist skirts (just have 26 right now). Mustard is pretty much my favorite color and I believe it looks go with everything! I am a crazy party planner, and love to have to crank up the music and have dance parties with my kids. I prefer cookies over cookie dough and cake batter over cake!

    I made this set for my nearly 4 year old son. He loves it. First he made the cards like the directions and the started using the images as the background for his own ideas. Thank you for such an open ended activity. We even made another set as a birthday gift.

      I designed them on half sheet for easily throwing the activity into any little bag and to be a little more printer friendly. I’m sorry I only have them in the half size sheets. I am so glad you like them!

    I wish you had these free without needing Facebook or Instagram….my 4 year old son would love them but I can’t afford to purchase them. Pinterest is the only social media allowed in my house hold. So I guess I am out of luck….these are awesome though, I could see my 9 and 11 year old girls using these for hours. Love everything you post keep it up! Good vibes for all who read posts. Totally worth it!

    I have attempted to print the play dough mats several times, and the bottom ones on each page always have a some sort of big black box. What can I do to get rid of the issue, I have wasted lots of ink.
