How to use this worksheet
- Rows 1 and 5, crosses: top left to bottom right first, then bottom left to top right.
- Row 2, triangles standing corner to corner from the bottom-left dot; row 3, three-bump clouds sitting on the bottom line.
- Row 4, slanted lines drawn from the bottom dot up to the right. In every row, trace the dashed part first, then carry the pattern on alone to the end.
What this worksheet teaches
Diagonal strokes are the common thread here: they form the crosses, the sides of the triangles and the slanted lines, while the clouds add a contrasting set of arches. Diagonals are usually among the last basic strokes children master, typically around age five, so a page built around them is a solid challenge at 5–6. Four patterns on five rows also train working memory and flexibility, because the hand plan changes in every row and the last row brings back the first pattern.
Play idea
Find the pair: ask your child which two rows have the same pattern and why. Then let them draw a small sun above the row they liked best and a raindrop above the one that felt hardest.
