Kids can practice using scissors and cut along the lines.

You can add glitter glue to the lines. Let the glue dry and let the kids use their fingers to trace over the lines from left to right.

Children can use their fingers or tweezers to place the fall-themed manipulatives or loose parts on the lines.

Students can use dry erase markers, crayons, colored pencils or dot markers to trace over the lines as well.

The tracing strips can also be paired with sensory writing trays. Kids can use the strips as visual cues for lines to trace within the trays.

If desired, the cards can also be left unlaminated.
