Dinosaur Tracing Activity Cards
Tracing is an excellent way for preschoolers to build manual dexterity, develop hand-eye coordination, and practice proper pencil grasp.
These free printable dinosaur tracing activity cards are an easy way to practice these important skills while having fun. Here are some fun ideas for using these activity cards at home and in the classroom:
- Use dinosaur tracing activity cards as part of a fun dinosaur-themed center in your preschool classroom. Print and laminate cards for kids to practice tracing again and again with wet or dry erase markers.
- Print dinosaur tracing activity cards to keep kids learning and having fun on a long car ride, while waiting at a restaurant, or in a waiting room.
- Color these dinosaur activity cards with your preschoolers once they have finished tracing the dinosaurs. Coloring is another fantastic way for kids to build pre-writing skills.
Build Fine Motor Skills with Dinosaur Activities
There are lots of other fun ways to practice fine motor skills with your preschoolers using dinosaurs. Once your little learners have traced and colored all their dinosaur activity cards, try some of these other fine motor skill building dinosaur activities:
- Dinosaur Lacing Cards: Turn these dinosaur tracing activity cards into lacing cards for more early learning fun with your preschoolers. Simply laminate your dinosaurs and use a hole punch to create holes for laces around the outline of each dinosaur. Then, give your preschoolers some colorful yarn or ribbon to practice their lacing skills.
- Trace “Real” Dinosaurs Outside: Get hands-on with your dinosaur tracing activities. Use plastic dinosaurs and sidewalk chalk to trace “real” dinosaurs outside. Kids can trace the outline of the dinosaurs on the sidewalk in chalk.
- Dinosaur Loose Parts Station: Set up a dinosaur loose parts activity station in your classroom or at home. Provide your preschoolers with a variety of materials. Ideas include nuts and bolts, modeling clay, dry pasta, pipe cleaners, small twigs, and leaves. Watch your preschoolers get creative building their own dinosaurs by manipulating these loose parts to create unique creatures with their imagination and dexterity.
