How to use this worksheet
- Point to the parts of the dashed pattern first: two diamonds, one above the other, touching and overlapping at their inner tips.
- On each of the four rows, begin at the dark start dot of the solid model and trace the dashed diamonds one by one; a short rest after every row keeps the corners sharp.
What this worksheet teaches
Following the dashes, the pencil travels along slanted lines and stops at sharp corners, four directions in every diamond: a first taste of diagonals with the guide doing the steering.
Play idea
Sparkle game: each time your child finishes a pair of diamonds, they add three tiny sparkle lines next to it and say "shine!", so the rows fill with glittering jewels.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Why does my child stop at every corner?
That is exactly right: each diamond turns four times, and a short stop at every corner keeps the points sharp instead of rounded.
What age is this worksheet for?
Children aged 3–4 — the large diamonds are dashed all the way across the row, so a 3-year-old only has to steer the pencil from corner to corner.
What if the pencil keeps slipping off the dashed diamonds?
Trace one pair of diamonds together with your hand over theirs, pausing at each corner; wobbly sides are fine at 3–4 as long as the corners are there.
