How to use this worksheet
- Start on the dark dot in the center of the left coil and spiral outward, getting bigger with every turn.
- Swing across underneath to the right, then spiral inward, getting smaller, and stop in the center of the right coil.
- The figures are small and sit in the middle of the band, away from both guide lines. Six or seven per row are dashed.
What this worksheet teaches
The two halves of the figure go in opposite ways: the left coil grows outward, the right coil shrinks inward, and the turning direction flips in between, like an S. Changing the direction of rotation mid-stroke is demanding fine-motor work, and the small coils are drawn with the fingers, not the arm. This control over tight curves helps with the rounded letters of handwriting and with keeping letters small and even.
Variation to try
On the freehand half, your child alternates a double spiral with a single coil to the end of the row. A sequence rule keeps attention on the model.
