HOW WE USED OUR FREE DINOSAUR PRESCHOOL WORKSHEETS

Lacing Cards from the Free Dinosaur Preschool Worksheets

Instead of lacing the cards in our free dinosaur preschool worksheets, we used clear circle counters to cover each spot. However, regular lace can be used or even a piece of yarn with tape wrapped around one end.

You can also have your young learners use dot markers to cover each dot.

T-Rex, Triceratops how many other dinosaurs can you name? If you are looking for a fun and free preschool printable worksheets for dinosaurs, try these.

Dinosaur Tracing Pages

The tracing pages from the free dinosaur preschool worksheets pack were slipped into a protective sheet so that we could use a dry erase marker. I actually prefer this method so that we can redo the activity.

We also printed an extra set and used scissors to cut along the lines.

Playdough can also be used to follow the lines as it is a great fine motor and pencil grasp development tool.

The math cards were used as regular clip cards with a clothespin but they can easily be adapted as a regular page. Simply slip it into a protective sheet and use a dry erase marker or a dry erase crayon!

Quick Sensory Tip for Our Free Dinosaur Preschool Worksheets:

Don’t forget that you can create a dinosaur sensory bin by adding a few plastic dinosaurs or any toy dinosaurs and placing them in a bin or water or even dried rice!
