FREE Early Years (EYFS & KS1) St. David’s Day: Welsh Dragon Multimats (PLAYDOUGH, LOOSE PARTS, COLOURING, ART & CRAFTS and Whitebord Pens)

Ignite creativity and cultural appreciation this St. David's Day with our wonderful FREE St. David's Day: Welsh Dragon Activity Mats! These engaging printable 'multimats' are perfect for EYFS and KS1 children, providing a versatile platform for creative expression, fine motor development, and hands-on learning through the iconic symbol of the Welsh dragon.

Ideal for Preschool, Nursery, School, or for Parents and Childminders at home, these activity mats are a fantastic way to introduce children to the themes of St. David's Day and the rich culture of Wales.

This versatile FREE sample features:

  • "Welsh Dragon Multimat" templates. The mats each show a bold outline of the Welsh dragon with differentiated varying detail, ready to be filled with intricate patterns, colours, and materials.

  • Differentiated Use Options:

    • Laminated & Reusable: Once laminated, these mats are ideal for use as a playdough mat or a loose parts mat, allowing children to press, roll, and arrange materials to design their dragon. They can also be used with whiteboard pens, providing a reusable surface for mark-making and drawing.

    • One-Time Use: Without lamination, the sheets can be used as a traditional colouring sheet or in conjunction with art and craft cut-and-stick materials for a fun collage project.

(Note: Please use your own discretion and knowledge of your children to ensure appropriateness of each activity suggested on this page and safety concerning any materials given and activity undertaken.)

  • Our FREE St. David's Day: Welsh Dragon Activity Mats are incredibly versatile and can be used in a multitude of ways across various early years and KS1 environments:

    • Colouring & Mindfulness: As a colouring sheet, the dragon can be filled with red, green, and other colours. This activity naturally promotes mindfulness and focus, as children concentrate on filling each section, making it an excellent quiet-time task.

    • Sensory & Fine Motor Centre: Place a laminated mat in a continuous provision area with playdough, red and green loose parts, or other small manipulatives. Children can use their fingers or tools like tweezers to arrange the loose parts, strengthening crucial fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination.

    • Art and Craft Activity: Turn it into a collage project! Children can cut and stick red and green paper, tissue paper, fabric scraps, or other craft materials to create vibrant dragon designs.

    • Mark-Making Practice: Provide the mat with different pens, pencils, or crayons. Children can fill the dragon outline with patterns, lines, and shapes, practicing their pre-writing and mark-making skills.

    • Topic Introduction: Use the mats to introduce the theme of St. David's Day, discussing the Welsh dragon as a powerful symbol of Wales. This can lead to discussions about flags, history, and national identity.

  • EYFS Framework:

    • Expressive Arts and Design: Children explore and use a wide range of media and materials to create their own designs. They develop their own ideas and express creativity through the different ways they decorate their dragon.

    • Physical Development (Fine Motor Skills): The acts of manipulating playdough, arranging loose parts, or using mark-making tools and scissors all strengthen hand muscles, improve dexterity, and enhance hand-eye coordination.

    • Personal, Social and Emotional Development (Self-Regulation): Engaging in a focused, calming activity like colouring or detailed design work promotes self-regulation, concentration, and patience.

    • Understanding the World (People, Culture & Communities): Introduces children to a specific cultural symbol and celebration.

  • KS1 Curriculum:

    • Art and Design: Children use a range of materials to design and make products. They can explore colour, pattern, and shape to create their dragons.

    • History/Geography: A starting point for a topic on Wales, its national symbols, and culture.

    • Design and Technology (indirectly): Designing a product for a specific purpose (decoration) and selecting appropriate materials.
