20 Different Mark Making Sheets / Worksheets / Pages and ideas of what to do with them. EYFS YEAR 1

Mark-making worksheets are fantastic for developing various skills in young children. Here are ten engaging ways to use them:

Trace the Marks: Have children trace over the marks on the worksheets with crayons or markers to practice their fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination.

Create Patterns: Encourage children to use the marks as a starting point to create their own patterns by repeating or combining the marks in different ways.

Colour the Marks: Let children colour in the marks using different colours to explore colour recognition and creativity.

Match and Sort: Provide additional worksheets with different marks and ask children to match similar marks or sort them into categories based on shape or size.

Storytelling: Ask children to create a story based on the marks on the worksheet. For example, a series of wavy lines might become a story about waves in the ocean.

Dot-to-Dot: Turn the marks into a dot-to-dot activity where children connect the dots to form shapes or pictures.

Create Art: Use the marks as a background or texture for children to create their own artwork, such as adding animals, people, or objects over the marks.

Mark-Making with Different Tools: Have children use different mark-making tools like paintbrushes, sponges, or cotton buds to replicate or embellish the marks on the worksheet.

Interactive Games: Turn the worksheets into interactive games. For example, create a “mark-making race” where children have to replicate the marks as quickly as possible.

Cut and Paste: Have children cut out different marks from the worksheet and arrange them on a blank sheet to make their own designs or patterns.
