Snowman pre-writing cards

I have added some "snow" themed pre-writing cards to my language shelf.  I just recently discovered the blog, Confessions of a Homeschooler.  It is delightful.  There are so many printables that are free for personal use.  For the snowman cards, click on THIS LINK.  You will be directed to a page with MANY snowman printables.  You'll have to scroll down to find these.  While you are there you are very likely to find a lot more you will want to print.

I printed these on white cardstock, laminated them and cut them apart.  I thought about putting them together on a ring, but that doesn't allow them to lay flat for writing so I decided to just stack them in a little plastic basket.  I added a dry-erase marker and a small piece of felt for erasing.

To do this activity the child would simply select a card, trace the dotted lines with the marker, then erase with the felt.  In addition to the obvious benefit of developing eye-hand and visual-motor coordination through the tracing, I like that the act of erasing with the piece of felt will also help to strengthen those little finger muscles.
