Mixed patterns
How to use this worksheet
- Rows 1, 4 and 7 are X crosses, rows 2 and 5 slanted lines, rows 3 and 6 waves; each starts with a solid model, a dot and a short dashed guide.
- For crosses go from top left to bottom right, then bottom left to top right; slanted lines rise from the bottom line; waves stay on the paper without a lift.
- The rest of each row is blank, and your child copies the pattern freehand to the end.
What this worksheet teaches
This mix puts two diagonal patterns next to a flowing curve, so the child has to shift between stop-and-start straight strokes and one continuous rounded line. Recognizing which kind of movement a row needs and changing it on purpose is a real writing skill, since letters like k and x sit beside round letters like o and s. Drawing from the model at 6–8 also practices independent spacing and slant across seven long rows.
Variation to try
Pattern detective: before starting, your child names the pattern in every row and sorts them into straight-line rows and curvy rows. After drawing, they check whether the three rows of crosses look alike.
