Circles
How to use this worksheet
- Put the pencil on the dark dot at the left side of the first circle and travel down, around the bottom, up and over the top until you are back on the dot.
- Trace the dashed circles one by one, lifting the pencil between them.
- Then draw three or four more circles by yourself, each touching both guide lines.
What this worksheet teaches
Going around counterclockwise is the starting movement of c, o, a, d and g, so a good circle is the first step toward those letters. Most children can copy a circle before they turn four, but closing it neatly at the same size, again and again, takes longer. Half tracing gives a few guided circles to settle the movement, then asks your child to repeat it with no help, while the large size keeps it comfortable for small hands.
Play idea
Balloon sellers: your child adds a string under each circle drawn alone, so the end of every row becomes a bunch of balloons, and picks a color for each balloon. An open balloon would lose its air, so it gets a second try.
