To use this as a playdough mat:
Children can simply use the mat to build their own tree, referring to the various parts as prompts. They can challenge themselves by rolling the dice, trying to complete the entire tree on their own. This is fun as a quiet activity, and practices number recognition on dice with sensory play.
To use this as a collaborative game:
