Mixed Patterns Tracing Worksheet — 4 Patterns, Large, Draw from the Model, 4 Rows, Ages 5–6
Triangles, circles, clouds and loops each get one large row on this card, so a 5–6 year old moves from corners to rounds to bumps to curls, drawing mostly from the model.

How to use this worksheet
- Row 1, triangles: from the bottom-left dot slant up, slant down and close the base; each triangle starts where the last one ended.
- Row 2, circles: from the dot on the left side go round counterclockwise and close. Row 3, clouds: small bump, tall bump, small bump, flat base.
- Row 4, loops: swing up from the bottom line, curl back over the top and come down to join the next one. In every row, trace the dashed example once, then continue alone.
What this worksheet teaches
Four different shapes on four rows mean four different hand plans: straight lines with sharp stops, a closed round shape, arches of different heights and a backward curl. That variety tests whether each movement is secure on its own, not only when it is repeated along a row. The shapes also follow a useful path from basic geometry (triangle, circle) to the movements of handwriting (arches for n and m, loops for l and e). Large rows give room for each shape to be drawn fully.
Play idea
Shape hunt: your child looks around the room and names one object shaped like each row: a triangle, a circle, a cloud and a loop.
