Double Zigzags Tracing Worksheet — Medium Patterns with Half Tracing for Ages 5–6

How to use this worksheet
- Start at the dark dot on the upper left. Draw the top zigzag: up, down, up, down, across two peaks.
- Go straight down the right end, then draw the lower zigzag back to the left, keeping it just under the top one.
- Close the ribbon with a short line up the left end, lift the pencil and start the next one.
What this worksheet teaches
The lower zigzag has to copy the top one at an even distance, which trains parallel lines and sharp corners at the same time. It is also drawn from right to left, a direction children practice less. Because the ribbon is a closed shape, your child must end exactly at the starting point, and keeping the gap between the two zigzags even is a clear test of hand–eye control.
Variation to try
Crown band: your child draws a small jewel inside the peaks of the ribbons they drew alone and decides which one would fit a king.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Why does the lower zigzag go from right to left?
The ribbon is one closed shape: along the top, down the end, back along the bottom and up to close.
The two zigzags touch. What helps?
Draw the lower one more slowly and keep looking at the top line above it.
How many ribbons are drawn without dashes?
About four or five per row.
