Loops
How to use this worksheet
- Start at the dark dot on the bottom line. Go up to the right, curl over the top at the upper line, come back down crossing your line and swing along the bottom into the next loop.
- Trace the dashed loop once, then draw the following loops without dashes and without lifting the pencil.
- Try to make each loop about as wide as the model.
What this worksheet teaches
Looping is a continuous, rhythmic movement in which the line crosses itself, the base of cursive letters such as l, e, b and h. Drawing it from a model at 4–5 means your child has to remember the path, go up, over, down and across, and repeat it without dashes, which trains visual memory as well as the hand. The large size leaves room for the whole hand and arm to move freely.
Play idea
Roller coaster: the loops are the track. A little car, your child's finger, rides the model loop first; then your child draws the rest of the ride and adds a flag at the finish.
