Mixed patterns
How to use this worksheet
- Rows 1 and 3: lying eights, starting at the dot in the middle, round the left loop and then the right.
- Rows 2 and 4: bridges, from the dot on the bottom line up, over and down, arch after arch without lifting.
- After the dashes, your child continues the same pattern on the empty band; it is fine if the shapes grow.
What this worksheet teaches
Bridges are one smooth arch repeated along a line, while lying eights turn in two directions around a crossing point. Alternating them trains a 3–4 year old to switch between two ways of moving the crayon, and because each pattern appears twice, the second try is usually better than the first. The half-empty rows add the first steps of drawing without a guide, encouraging the child to look back at the traced part.
Play idea
Car and bike: the bridges are a road for a toy car and the eights a track for a bike. After tracing, your child rides each row with a finger and draws a small flag at the end of the row they did best.
