Playdough Buttons Toddler Sensory Tray
Explore the topic of coats with this quick & easy Playdough Buttons Toddler Sensory Tray. Little kids love these easy toddler activities and of course teachers and mamas do too!
One of this week’s topics was Coat and while the little guy enjoyed the Button On Os I Spy Activity, baby girl was busy with her own Playdough Buttons Toddler Sensory Tray. I’m definitely loving working with both them together as well as separately!

A huge thanks to Experience Early Learning (formerly Mother Goose Time) for providing us with their Experience Preschool curriculum for free in exchange for sharing our honest and authentic stories resulting from our personal experiences. It’s been such a huge blessing to us! As always, my opinions on awesome stuff for little kids are 100% my own.
Keep in mind that all preschoolers do things in their own time and on their own terms. What one is ready for, another might not be. Please use your best mama judgement when planning activities for your little kids.
This month we were thrilled to receive one of the Little Goose Toddler Teacher Guidebooks too!
Our Winter in the Woods theme has been wonderful and we’ve enjoyed Hedgehog Activities for Toddlers & Preschoolers, Quick & Easy Playdough Prints Toddler Sensory Tray, and of course the Frozen Objects Winter Preschool Activity.
We’ve shared so many fun things this month and let’s not forget how we’re adapting Experience Early Learning (formerly Mother Goose Time) for a young toddler (16 months old) and of course a kindergartner too. Because let’s be realistic, this preschool curriculum is just that versatile!
In our first post this month, I compared a preschool activity with the corresponding toddler sensory tray. The week after, I shared an activity that baby girl had a wonderful time with. And last week meant lots of fun with both little kids as they worked together on one of the preschool Investigation Station STEAM activities.
Today I wanted to share another quick & easy toddler activity!
Playdough Buttons Toddler Sensory Tray
Skill: Fine Motor
Supplies
- Large Buttons
- Playdough
Invite the child to press buttons into the playdough then remove them.
Let me just say that I’m quickly realizing playdough is kinda her jam! She thinks it’s all kinds of awesome.
This little white metal tray was love at first sight for me. I found it at Target and thought it’d be a great way to keep her tray play activities confined. You know, because toddlers and all.
I loved watching her explore the squishy playdough and make impressions with the buttons. It didn’t take her long at all to realize that she could basically use the buttons as stamps.
Ironically I got the kids some playdough rollers for Christmas and at one point, she reached behind her and grabbed one to use. It’s so fun to see her learning and exploring and making connections entirely on her own! I’m definitely enjoying using the Little Goose Toddler Teacher Guidebook!
Like I said, this preschool curriculum is so versatile. It’s great for mixed-age groups! From the youngest of toddlers to preschoolers and beyond, there’s something for all of your little kids!
