Space Playdough Invitation to Play Tray

This space playdough tray makes for a great invitation to play for preschoolers. It was a major hit during our space theme, and my son begged me to bring it out several times throughout our study!

If you’ve been following me for any amount of time, you know I’m a big believer in play-based learning. In all of the units I create, I keep play at the forefront of my mind, with some being open-ended, and others having a specific goal in mind.

In most of our units, I include an invitation to play tray, usually featuring playdough. Naturally, I wanted to make an open-ended space tray for our space unit, and as always, my son loved it!

He’s now so used to these trays, that he knows exactly what’s going on when I bring them out. He asks me to sit with him and roll out the playdough using a rolling pin so he can create various scenes and games.

For this playdough tray, he made scenes of the space sky, with the glass gems representing stars, and the planets representing…well, planets!
