How to use this worksheet

  • Valleys start at the dot on the top line: dip down into a cup and come back up to the top line, again and again.
  • Waves start in the middle of the row: up over a hump, then down through a dip, in one flowing line.
  • Springs start on the bottom line and curl up into tall, tight coils that overlap slightly.
  • Vertical lines are separate strokes, each drawn from the top guide line straight down to the bottom one.

What this worksheet teaches

No two rows on this page use the same movement: rounded cups, smooth waves, overlapping coils and straight downward strokes. Each row asks your child to adjust, which builds flexible control and attention. The vertical lines are a calm finish after three curvy rows and train the top-to-bottom stroke of most letters. The rows are large, about 2.4 cm tall; spreading them over several days is fine.

Play idea

Before each row, act out the movement: sway down and up for valleys, wave an arm for waves, twirl a finger for springs, reach from tall to the floor for vertical lines.

Questions and answers

Questions from parents

Why are all four rows different?
This sheet has four patterns in four rows, so every row practices a new movement. It keeps things interesting and trains quick switching.
Which row should we start with?
Top to bottom works well, but if your child is tired, the vertical lines are the easiest and give a quick success.
My child mixes up valleys and waves. How are they different?
Valleys hang from the top line like cups and always come back up to it; waves go above and below the middle of the row.
