Free Printable Unicorn Prewriting Tracing Strips for Preschoolers

114 shares
  • Share

These free printable unicorn fine prewriting tracing pages are a fun, low-prep fine motor activity for preschoolers. Just print and play or laminate them and turn them into tracing strips for a go-bag activity that’s easy to wipe down and clean!

Like the car prewriting tracing strips I shared previously, these unicorn prewriting pages were made by special request. My daughter saw these unicorn calendar pages up on my computer and asked if I could make her something with unicorns, too.

I hope your little learner enjoys these unicorn prewriting pages as much as mine does!

Three free printable unicorn themed prewriting practice printable pages. Each page has four rainbow dotted lines to trace. The lines run between two unicorn themed images. The pages are on a blue background with colorful children's markers.

How to print and use fine motor tracing pages

Unlike the car prewriting strips, which feature a path to trace inside, these unicorn tracing pages have a rainbow dotted line to trace. This makes them a bit more challenging and gives them a magical unicorn flair.

This set has three pages with four “strips” each for a total of 12 lines to trace. The lines are a progression that goes from simple (just a straight line) to more difficult pen control paths. (Sorry the image below looks so dark – the reflection from laminated pages makes them difficult to photograph. Your pages will look much prettier in real life!)

Three printed pages of preschool tracing pages with a unicorn theme. Each page has four rectangles. A line of rainbow dots is in each rentable and a unicorn-themed image is on each end of the dotted line.

Materials needed:

  • Free printables (download is located lower in the post)
  • Paper and a printer. I recommend 32 lb bright white paper for crisp, beautiful images. This paper is also thicker than “normal” printer paper so the printables last longer. I used this paper with the printables shown in the post.
  • Laminator, dry erase pockets, or page protectors. Optional.
    • I love my inexpensive home laminator and laminated these pages for repeated use.
    • Instead of dry erase pockets, I usually use “secure” page protectors for preschool worksheets. They’re sturdier than regular page protectors and have a flap to keep the page inside.
  • Paper cutter or paper trimmer, if you want to make tracing practice strips.
  • Binder rings, optional for an easy go-bag activity or less mess at home.
  • Crayons, pencils, markers, etc. for tracing
    • Markers provide less friction and can be easier to use.
    • Pencils and crayons have more friction and can provide a greater challenge. We like Honeyscticks beeswax crayons because the colors are easy to see and they’re taste-safe.
    • Stabilo Woody colored pencils are another fantastic choice. They’re can be used like a crayon or a dry erase marker, and they color wonderfully.

How to use prewriting tracing strips

First, download your free printables from lower down the page. You’ll see a big, pink image that reads “click here to download” with a preview of the unicorn tracing pages in the upper right corner.

Print the pages you want. Laminate and cut pages if you want to make strips or place the sheets in page protectors if you want to make them reusable.

You can cut the pages into strips to make them easy to store in a pencil case or on a binder ring. I use my paper trimmer. I was about to cut these when my daughter suddenly decided she didn’t want them cut.

A paper trimmer on a wood surface. A printed and laminated prewriting practice page is on top of the paper trimmer. The page features four rainbow dotted paths that run the length of the page. Each line has a unicorn themed image on either end.

If your child is new to this type of activity, demonstrate tracing a few lines. My daughter has only done trace in the line pages before, so she wanted me to show her how to trace before taking a turn.

If your child is new to using a writing utensil, you may want to demonstrate using your index finger before introducing a marker or crayon.

(Yes, the page below upside-down because 3 year olds.)
