Loops
How to use this worksheet
- Start at the dot on the bottom line, go up and to the right, curl back over the top and come down through the line you just drew.
- Keep going into the next loop without lifting; the pencil leaves the paper only at the end of the row.
- The solid first loop shows the shape, then the dashes run all the way along.
What this worksheet teaches
A loop joins an upward diagonal, a turn at the top and a return that crosses the first line, all in one continuous movement. This is the backbone of cursive letters such as l, e, h and b, and it trains the hand to keep moving instead of stopping at every change of direction. With four large rows and a full guide, 4–5 year olds can concentrate on flow and on keeping each loop open rather than on remembering the shape.
Play idea
Roller coaster: a finger becomes a little car doing loop-the-loops along row 1 before the pencil takes over. Then give each row its own color and decide together which ride has the roundest loops.
