These Montessori-inspired Printable Dinosaur Shape Match for kids will please any Dino lover!

There’s something about dinosaurs that appeals to kids, although we’re not sure why? Maybe it’s the smiley appearance and friendly nature of dinosaurs as usually depicted in children’s shows, which probably began with the purple dino Barney! Whatever the reason may be, there’s no denying that dinosaurs will always continue to occupy prime place among children’s interests and they may just turn into a learning tool too! Our latest printable is a dinosaur shape match, to help toddlers and preschoolers learn about shapes with some cheery dinos!

3. Cut out each shape separately.

HOW TO PLAY:

Children are to match each shape to its corresponding dinosaur. The shape & colors are unique and this helps the child practice fine motor skills along with color & shape recognition.  There are 10 Dinosaurs, one on each page and 10 shapes on a separate page. To help the sheets last longer, we recommend laminating them, so that you can play with them over and over again.  Make these sheets do more by learning about the names of the different dinos as well as the various colors. You can also use play-doh to cover the shapes.  This is also a great way to keep your little one occupied during a vacation – both on the journey as well as in the hotel room.
