Pancake Day playdough mats for EYFS
Add hands-on learning to Shrove Tuesday week with these engaging Pancake Day playdough mats, designed for EYFS. Pupils can roll, shape, and create pancake toppings while building fine motor strength, hand control, and vocabulary through a familiar seasonal theme.
These mats work well as part of continuous provision or a short focused activity, and they are a simple way to keep pupils on task while you support small groups. They also link nicely to Pancake Day discussions and role play, giving pupils a practical way to explore the celebration while practising key Early Years skills.
