This resource includes seven Australian animals play dough mats. Mats included:

1. Make some ants for the echidna
2. Make a tree for the koala
3. Make a baby emu chick
4. Make a tail for the kangaroo
5. Make a nest for the kookaburra
6. Add ears to the dingo

 This engaging resource is a great way for students to develop their fine motor skills, including their hand and finger strength and coordination. Pinching, rolling and shaping play dough to create a variety of objects will help to strengthen the small muscles in the hands and fingers whilst simultaneously developing bilateral coordination, which is essential for daily tasks, such as using tools, tying shoelaces or buttoning shirts.
