Free Printable Preschool Traffic Signs & Worksheets
In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if your older kids want to join in on the fun too!
Traffic signs are an important part of our daily lives. A stop sign helps us stay safe while driving and service signs tells people where the hospital’s at or where to grab a quick bite to eat on road trips.
And teaching your children about traffic signs (like the fun railroad crossing sign) at a young age can encourage good safety habits and prepare them for walks to your local library and when they learn how to drive.
This free printable road signs and worksheets is a free download and perfect for teaching preschoolers about traffic signs while also encouraging shape recognition and coloring activities.
All you need to do is share the email address you want your packet going to and you’ll be sent the PDF files for the traffic sign printables.

How To Use the Preschool Traffic Signs Printable
Once you receive your PDF files, simply print out the pages.
If you want a certain PDF worksheet to last longer than 10 minutes, then I recommend laminating the pages for durability.
Specifically the street signs and memory games.
After printing and laminating (if you choose that option), here are a few ideas on how to use the preschool traffic signs printable:
- As a memory game: Cut out the memory game and place them face down on a flat surface. Encourage your child to turn over two cards at a time and try to match the traffic signs.
- Matching game worksheet: Have your child cut out the signs and glue them onto the matching boxes on the worksheet.
- Tracing shapes worksheet: Using a crayon or marker, have your child trace the shapes of each traffic sign.
- Letter tracing: Help your child practice their letters by tracing the words next to the traffic light.
- On-the-go learning: Take the printable with you in the car or on a walk and have your child point out real-life examples of each traffic sign as they see them. They’ll learn the traffic rules and have fun at the same time!
With these fun and interactive activities, your child will not only learn about road signs but also develop important life skills such as matching, tracing, and math skills in a fun way.
Benefits of Teaching Traffic Signs to Preschoolers
Teaching traffic signs to preschoolers may seem like a simple activity, but it has many benefits for their development. Here are some potential advantages:
- Early introduction to road safety: By learning about traffic signs at a young age, children can start developing an understanding of road safety and the importance of following rules.
- Improved cognitive skills: Matching, tracing, and memory games all require critical thinking and problem-solving skills, which can help improve a child’s cognitive development.
- Enhances visual recognition: Traffic signs come in different shapes and colors. By playing matching games or tracing activities, children can develop their visual recognition skills by identifying and remembering these variations.
- Encourages language development: Talking about the traffic signs and their meanings can help expand a child’s vocabulary and improve their communication skills.
- Prepares for future learning: Learning about traffic signs is just one step towards helping children understand more complex road rules as they get older. It sets a foundation for future learning about safety and responsibility while on the road.
