Dinosaur Counting Activities for Preschoolers: Fun and Learning Combined
I have a fun dinosaur counting pack that features three fine-motor activities that help kids practice counting to twenty as they string beads, pinch clothespins, and squeeze a hole punch.
Print out these numbered dinosaurs. Kids will identify the number and clip the same number of clothespins to each dinosaur. This is great for strengthening the pincer grasp.
Dinosaur dig excavation kits are an amazing way to get kids interested in science! Dig up the dinosaurs and use fine motor skills to brush off the sand. Then, use the microscope to match the dinosaurs to the fact cards. Soak the dinosaur eggs in water to watch them crack open to reveal baby dinosaurs. Learning has never been so much fun!
These felt dinosaur tails have a velcro “belt” that allows kids to wear them when they’re playing dress-up and pretending to be dinosaurs.
