Dinosaur Fine Motor Drawing | Symmetry Pre-Writing Trace | PreK SPED Autism OT

Finally, some fine motor activities for our dinosaur-loving friends! With these Let's Draw Dinosaurs activities, students build fine motor and drawing skills by completing fun dinosaur pictures — drawing the missing half of each one. A hands-on favorite that keeps your fine motor center fun and engaging any time of year, and a great fit for preschool, Pre-K, and special education classrooms — and OT.

Just print, laminate, and add dry erase markers, and students complete each picture by drawing the other half, which is lightly lined in gray to guide them (see photos for details). Completing the second half builds symmetry, visual-motor, and pre-writing skills — all while kids draw the dinosaurs they love.
