Product description
From the author
Dinosaur Q-Tip Art Packet includes eight dinosaur-themed designs in two versions: with and without a label to trace. The 18-page PDF contains 16 dot-painting activity pages and two support pages.
Children dab paint into the printed circles using cotton swabs. Designs include named prehistoric animals, a generic dinosaur, a footprint and a volcano. The tracing versions add picture-label practice.
Use the pages for art centers, small-group fine-motor practice or an optional dinosaur-themed activity. Supply paint, cotton swabs and a protected work surface.

Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Fill an outlined shape using controlled cotton-swab dot placement (Q-tip painting).
Trace and recognize a printed dinosaur name paired with its matching outline.
Teaching tips
Pair the dinosaur names on the tracing pages with a quick vocabulary review before students begin painting.
Use the non-tracing pages for a follow-up session once students already know the dinosaur names, to check recall without the printed word.
Set out a shallow tray of paint per color so students can dip and dot independently without repeated refills.
Skills covered
Fine-motor dot painting — students use a cotton swab to fill an outlined shape with controlled dabs of paint.
Name tracing — students trace the printed picture labels on eight tracing pages.
