Loops
How to use this worksheet
- Start on the dot at the bottom of the band, go up and around, then come down and keep rolling to the right.
- Trace the solid loop and the dashed ones after it, about four loops in all.
- In the empty part, encourage big, round loops even if they are not all the same; eight or nine fit in a row.
What this worksheet teaches
A loop is a circle that keeps traveling, and for a preschooler it is one of the first movements that joins a curve to a line moving forward. The big size lets the child use the whole arm, which is how young children build the control they later refine in the fingers. Half tracing shows the movement with support, then invites the child to keep the rhythm going alone, an early lesson in continuing a pattern that also supports early math thinking.
Play idea
Bouncing ball: say "boing" at the top of every loop, and let your child draw a little ball at the end of the row where it lands.
