Free Thanksgiving Prewriting Printables
Prewriting is something that every child works on at some point and time. You can do simple prewriting pages but it is always fun to have some seasonal prewriting that you can do. I thought everyone might enjoy these free Thanksgiving Prewriting Pages. There are other non-themed prewriting printables if you want to use those.
You have two types of Thanksgiving prewriting lines with thin dashed lines, thick solid lines, and thick dashed lines. This gives you three levels of prewriting to work during Thanksgiving.
These are great for preschool, prek, and kindergarten.
This is a great addition to the Thanksgiving printables and prewriting printables on the site.
What is prewriting?
Prewriting is one of those basic skills that kids work on at some point and time. I’m always looking for different ways to practice it. This set is really great for older kids that might be leaving preschool and entering kindergarten or those that just need more practice on this.
Thanksgiving Prewriting Printables
I love having seasonal printables to work with. These Thanksgiving prewriting printables are great for working on fine motor skills or doing a little scissor practice as well. There are different types of lines for different levels of skills. They are fun and easy to use.
There are three different types to choose from for your child’s current level. You have thin dashed line prewriting, thick line prewriting, and thick dashed line prewriting. You have pilgrims, natives, and cornucopia themes in this prewriting.
Thanksgiving Prewriting Printables: Thin Lines
You can see an example of the thin prewriting lines below. You have a dashed fine line for kids to trace. You have the same line on each page and kids trace for lots of practice. These are great for later prek (ages 4 to 5) and kindergarten (ages 5 to 6).
Thanksgiving Prewriting Printables: Thick Lines
You can see an example of the thick prewriting lines below. You can see the solid thick line and the thick dashed line for the prewriting worksheet. You have the same line on each page to practice.
These are great for kids just starting out with prewriting. You can use with preschool (3 to 4) and Prek (ages 4 to 5).
These match up perfectly with my Thanksgiving Pack. This is a great expansion for the preschool and tot ages.

Ways to Use the Thanksgiving Prewriting Printable
You will see some suggestions below on different ways to use the Thanksgiving prewriting worksheets. And these are only a few suggestions and not all of them.
Prewriting with a Pencil and Pencil Grip
You can always use these is fine motor centers. You can give them the Thanksgiving prewriting worksheet that works best for them. And with 24 pages you have lots of options.
You can see we have set up a center with a thick dashes line page, pencil and a pencil grip. The pencil grip is great to help kids who struggle to hold the pencil.
If you want to skip the grip you can use golf size pencils or my first pencil.
Old kids can trace all the lines. And younger kids can trace a line each day until all the lines are traced.
Reusing the Thanksgiving Prewriting Worksheets
These thanksgiving prewriting printables are great to reuse. You can laminate the page or put the page in a sheet protector. Then you use a dry erase marker to trace the lines.
You can use a bigger dry erase markers with the thick lines.
The nice part is that you can wipe off the lines and trace them again or have another child do the same lines without needing to print a second page.
Thanksgiving Prewriting with Watercolors
Now you might have kids who are old who still need fine motor work but tracing prewriting lines is not their thing. So give them a challenge with having them paint the prewriting lines. They can use the color of watercolors they want. Then have them use the paint brush to paint the lines. This is a challenge and will add that extra fine motor practice.
Using Playdough to Line the Thanksgiving Prewriting Lines
You can also use these prewriting lines with playdough. You can pick the page you want to use, put it in a sheet protector and then give them playdough. They make snakes and line the lines with playdough.
After they are done with playoudgh lines they could take the page out and trace the lines.
Using Glass Gems to Line the Lines
You can make these into another hands on activity by having kids line the lines with glass gems. This helps them with fine motor by picking up and placing the gems on the lines. It is easy to do. You can could also use any small item you have at home as well.
