Make a playdough garden with these fun, free printable, garden playdough accessories.
Kids of all ages will love making a garden full of flowers, bees and bugs, using these printable playdough flower garden accessories.
Whether you are working on a spring learning theme, or perhaps your kids are interested in gardens, or insect, or they just love playdough, these free printable playdough flower garden accessories are a easy way to set up a fun play dough activity.
Playing with playdough is a great way to work on fine motor skills as kids pinch, roll, and shape the dough to create flower beds, leaves, and other garden elements. It’s a fun sensory activity and it also fosters imaginative play as children design their own unique flower gardens, and create stories about their gardens. This, fun, hands-on, playdough activity offers a great blend of cognitive, physical, and emotional benefits while also give kids lots of opportunities to learn about flowers, gardens, insects and nature.
If you are a busy Mum, or teacher, the printable flowers, leaves, bees and bugs make setting up a fun and engaging invitation to play really easy. You don’t need any flower themed toys or figurines, just print, laminate and the printable flower garden accessories and you are ready to make your own playdough flower garden.

How to Make a Playdough Flower Garden.
Once you have your playdough and printable playdough accessories, set them out on a table or a large flat surface.
You could also add some extra playdough accessories or loose parts such as sticks, leaves, buttons or glass gems, or whatever you have on hand. We just used our printable garden accessories (see below to download) and dough and that was enough for lots of fun and creativity.
You can use playdough to ‘stick’ the printable flower parts together, or simply add them to your playdough flower garden creations.
