Free Fun Hands-On Dinosaur Shape Mats
Dinosaurs have always been a favorite at our house. It is a themed we have used over and over! I love having those dinosaur activities to do.
Today I have a fun Dinosaur Shape Mats for kids. This was a request and I just fell in love with the idea! I mean who does not love having dinosaurs as a learning activity!
This is a part of the 5 Days of Dinosaur Printables.
The Dinosaur Shape Mats is a great addition to the dinosaur printables and shapes printables on the site.
Dinosaurs Shape Mat Printables
These dinosaur mats are so much fun. They can be used in many different ways. I can think of several and I’m going to show you a few of those ideas.
Each of the mats has a shape name and the dinosaur forming that shape. It is simple and easy to see. I laminate the mats or put them in sheet protectors to help the pages last longer. I love sheet protectors because I can store them in a binder with all my other shape printables.

How to Use the Dinosaurs Shape mat Printables
These mats are not always going to be used just one way. I know this because not all kids learn the same way. I know my girls did not.
Trace the Dinosaur Shape Mats
One of the first ways you can use this printable is as a tracing activity. You can connect all the dinosaurs together to make a shape.
Use Playdough on the Dinosaur Shape Mats
A second way you can use this printable is with playdough. They can connect the dinosaurs and make the shape using the playdough.
Use Dinosaurs Counters on the Dinosaur Shape mats
A third way you can use this printable is with dinosaur counters and place a dinosaur on each of the dinosaurs around the shape. This makes a great hands-on activity.
A few more ideas are: using dot markers to dot the dinosaurs and cut the shapes out. There are so many ways to use these!
