About this resource

Tractor Tracks: pre-writing path mats. Four tractor tracks lead from the tractor to the barn: straight, wavy, zigzag and loopy. Children follow them with a finger, a pen or a toy tractor. What’s included: • Teacher guide with Development Matters links. • 2 mats with 4 tractor tracks. Ideas for using it: • Drive it: Drive a toy tractor along each track to the barn. • Pen tracks: Follow the dotted tracks with a pen. • Playdough tracks: Lay playdough snakes along the tracks. • Muddy tracks: Dip toy tractor wheels in paint and make tracks. Linked to Development Matters (three and four-year-olds): • Use a comfortable grip with good control when holding pens and pencils. • Use large-muscle movements to wave flags and streamers, paint and make marks. • Use a wider range of vocabulary. • Play with one or more other children, extending and elaborating play ideas. Supplied as a ready-to-print PDF (A4 landscape). Print, laminate and reuse all year.Read more

What you get, one file

  • PDFActivity

This pack is print and go. Our catalogue does not list an editable copy of it, so none is offered here rather than promising a file nobody has opened. Page counts are not printed either, because we do not publish them and a guessed number is worse than none.
