About this worksheet
Two scenes to finish by tracing, like rain from a cloud, a fence, waves, balloon strings, grass or a kite string.
What kids practice
Every letter is made from a few simple strokes: down, across, circles, slants, curves and zigzags. Practicing these big strokes builds the hand control kids need before letters feel easy.
Watch for
- Starting at the bottom instead of the top.
- Gripping the crayon in a fist. Show how to pinch it with the thumb and first finger.
- Going too fast and skipping off the dotted line. Slow and steady wins.
It's free to print, as many copies as you need. See the full pre-writing strokes and tracing guide for kindergarten.
