Dinosaur Preschool Activity Pack

Dinosaurs activities are among the most popular with preschoolers.
If I ever have a question about dinosaurs I would first ask a 4-year-old, then a paleontologist.
There are so many learning opportunities when studying dinosaurs.
The Dinosaurs Preschool Activity Pack from Pre-K Printable Fun is a great addition to your Dinosaurs Theme.
This pack is loaded with activities that support preschoolers development in math, literacy, science, and fine motor.

Dinosaur Shape Clip Cards

Encourage development of attention to detail and shape recognition as your preschooler identifies the shape of the plats on the stegosaurus.
Use clothespins to clip the correct shape to encourage fine motor skill development as well as hand-eye coordination.

Dinosaur Roll and Color Race

It's a racing game where everyone wins!
Play independently or with a friend.
Roll the cube, then color in on the graph to see which dinosaur reaches the top first.

Dinosaur Color Egg Matching

Dinosaur Skeleton Match-up

This activity encourages children to pay attention to detail and look for similarities and differences to match up the dino to the matching skeleton.

Dinosaur Pre-Cutting/Writing Strips

Preschoolers love cutting activities, almost as much as they love dinosaurs. Children can use this activity to practice tracing the different lines with their finger, then with a marker, then cutting. Prefer reusable activities? Laminate and use with a dry-erase marker for practice in writing lines.
