How to Use These Pages
There are a number of ways you can use these worksheets in your homeschool or classroom setting. First, print out the pages. You can print them all at once, or you can do one at a time within your letter of the week activities.
You can let your child use markers, crayons, or colored pencils to trace the animals and animal names at the bottom of the page.
Or, you can laminate the pages and let your child use dry erase markers to complete the pages. If you don’t have a laminator, you can slip the pages into a dry erase pouch.
Variations
If you’d like, your kids can color the pictures after tracing the outlines. They can also fill the shapes with playdough.
Another way to strengthen fine motor skills is to let kids use a thumbtack to poke holes along the tracing line.
