Fun Dinosaur Tracing Prewriting Activities
Print out the dinosaur line tracing sheets and cut them into their individual strips. Have your child choose their writing tool and first pattern to start with.
I suggest to laminate them and use with dry-erase markers so you can have a small group of kids do it together if you are in a preschool or daycare setting.
This would also be a nice busy bag game. You could punch a single hole in the corner and use a metal ring to bring it around with you.
