Preparing the Ocean Tracing Pages

These tracing pages are super simple to use.

Decide if you will use the black and white version or the full color version.
Print the pages.
If using the black and white version, give your student a crayon or pencil to trace the lines. If your student hasn’t mastered the pincher grip, use a broken crayon piece to help your student hold the crayon correctly.
If using the full color version of the Ocean Tracing Pages, laminate them. Alternatively, you could put them in page protectors or dry-erase pockets. Let your student use a dry-erase marker to trace the lines.
