How to Prepare St Patricks Day Tracing Printables Cards

When I'm introducing a new printable to my children, I like to make sure everything is put together nicely beforehand. I don't want them to be pulling things out of the printer, not knowing what to do with their hands while they wait, or eating markers (don't ask me how I know this).

Put everything together well ahead of time.

I have fallen into impatience a lot with my children, so when I feel frustrated or angry with them, I remind myself to take a deep breath and give them the tools they need to succeed. When I react with anger they learn that and then act that way.

So remember, they're just excited kids who want to learn.

Here is what you'll need:

The printable, of course! Click here to grab it

Laminator

Scissors

Pens, Pencils, Markers, or Manipulatives to trace the letters

Salt Tray or sensory bin

Laminating these printables will keep them around longer, and make them reusable. So they can trace letters all day if they'd like (my children LOVE this) they also love just coloring in the marshmallows when they're done.

The scissors aren't necessary. You can cut these yourself, and then you won't need to even let them have scissors.

Fill a sensory bin with Lucky Charms, and then have your child find a letter in their sensory bin, then trace it on their tracing sheet!

Add some fine motor to this set with a rainbow torn paper activity.

How to Use Your New Tracing Printables

When I created these, the intention was for children to use a dry erase marker on laminated sheets.

You can do this, or you can find other ways to use it, like I mentioned above. Sensory bins are a great way to add a small challenge to finding all of the letters. If your child is comforable with sensory play, this is so fun.

Another sensory thing is shaving cream. Take your letter flashcards, and put them in the bottom of a baking dish and cover with shaving cream. Have your child find the letters! Wiping off the shacing cream is such a silly and squishy way to learn. We have also used shaving cream to write letters in baking dishes (or just right on the table!)

More Fun Ways to Talk About the Alphabet with Your Preschooler

There is no better way to teach your children than through play. It's as simple as that, the experts all agree that preschool aged children learn the best while playing, so let's use that to learn more about letters

Here are a few simple games you can play:

Make the letters of the alphabet with your body

Use manipulatives to create letters

Find objects that begin with the letter you are working on

Draw all of your favorite J words

Hide the letters all around your house and find them, or tape them to the wall, and say the letter sound each time you walk by it.

We love letters in our house and are always looking for more ways to learn about them and talk about them. Do you have any tips?

What Will Kids Learn by Tracing?

Fine motor skills are an important set of skills your child will work on and learn with tracing.

Working on those prewriting skills muscles are an important task for preschoolers and young students. Correct hand placement is something you can work on with your child.
