Ways to use the Shape Tracing Pages
I love to have different ways to use a printable. Whos says one way is the right way! So I like to show you just how you could use a printable.
Trace the Shape Printable
I always here but I just want to trace the shape. Well, guess what you can. You can use anything you want to trace the shape on the worksheet. It is loads of fun to use what kids love best at that time. It could be a crayon like below. Maybe you want to use a marker, and even make it a change and use watercolors to trace it!
Rainbow Shape Tracing Worksheet
Now if you love the crayon idea, then why not rainbow trace the shape! give them a few crayons and let them trace it with colors over and over! This makes for a great shape training worksheet for kids.
Use the Shape Trace Printable As a Fine Motor Mat
The shape tracing printable work great for fine motor shape mats as well. If you plan on reusing them a lot I recommend laminating them!
One way to make these hands-on is to use clear counters. I love the clear ones because you can see the line through them. You could also use clear glass gems.
I love using mini erasers! You can get different ones for the season and make this a seasonal activity. Plus you could count how many erasers you used to outline the shape! You could also use counters for the hands-on item. We have some bear counters we love to use.
Use the Shape Trace Printable As a Playdough Mat
Don’t forget that the shape tracing printables can be playdough mats! Yup! You can make playdough snakes and outline the shape. You can see we put the shape in a sheet protector
(PS this is how I store these). Then used the playdough for the shape.
Reuse the Shape Trace Printable
Now after the shape tracing printables are in sheet protectors or laminated you can use dry eraser markers on them over and over!
