How to use this worksheet
- Row 1, springs: from the dot on the bottom line, go up and curl back over the top into a narrow loop, then down and straight into the next one.
- Row 2, waves: from the dot halfway up, over and under in one flowing line. Row 3, valleys: from the top line down into a U and back up.
- Row 4, hearts: start at the bottom tip and go up the left side first. In every row, trace the dashed half, then continue the same pattern in the empty band.
What this worksheet teaches
Three of the rows are continuous lines drawn without lifting, while the hearts are separate closed shapes, so the card practices both flowing movement and stopping to start again. Springs turn in tight loops, waves swing up and down, and valleys dip in a rounded U: three different curves that come back in letters like l, e, u and w. With each pattern shown once, it works best as a review after single-pattern sheets.
Play idea
Movement warm-up: before each row, your child draws the pattern big in the air: springs as bouncing loops, waves as a swimming arm, valleys as a swing, hearts with two fingers. Then the crayon follows on paper.
