Porcupickle activity sheets and patterns are great for use in preschool classrooms, kindergarten, day care, home school, or at home situations.

Unlike traditional dot to dots, our preschool activity sheets encourage creative problem solving. No number or letter sequencing is needed, so even the youngest preschooler can begin developing skills with our activity sheets. (Scribbles are allowed. That's the first important step!)

Please try our free samples. They are here for you and your children to enjoy. Simply open the PDF file and print the preschool activity sheet of your choice. You may duplicate these activity sheets and use them as many times as you like with your child or in your preschool or kindergarten classroom.

To further your children's learning and fun we offer a members only area filled with more activity sheets/patterns and many colorful classroom teaching helps.

For more information on what's included in our members area visit our themes page.

Porcupickle designs make great traceable craft patterns!
Tape or glue the design of your choice to construction paper or poster board or print on card stock and cut along the dotted line (activity sheets/craft patterns can be made larger or smaller on most standard copy machines). Use your patterns for endless hours of crafting fun.

For a multi-cultural look or for greater project stability:
Any pages may be printed on lightweight cardstock in a variety of colors.

We have pics to help with pencil and scissor grip.
