How to use this worksheet
- Row 1, spirals: start on the outer edge at the dot and wind inward to the center. Row 2, slanted lines: each from the bottom line up to the right.
- Row 3, stars: from the top point, ten short lines around the outline. Row 4, clouds: three bumps from the bottom-left corner, then flat back along the base.
- Before each row, trace the solid model with a finger to switch the hand to the new movement.
What this worksheet teaches
The four rows alternate curved and straight: the spiral is one tightening curve, the slanted lines are single diagonal strokes, the star is ten straight lines with sharp turns, and the cloud mixes arches with a straight base. Changing technique every row keeps a 4–5 year old attentive and shows which movement still needs work. The full dashes mean the page can be finished successfully, and the variety makes it a good review after single-pattern cards.
Play idea
Weather story: the spirals are whirlwinds, the slanted lines are rain, the stars are a night sky and the clouds a calm morning. Your child tells a short weather story while moving from row to row.
