Mixed Patterns Tracing: Clouds, Waves and Spirals — Medium, Half Tracing, 6 Rows, Ages 4–5
Everything on this page is curved: clouds, waves and spirals, twice each, in six medium rows dashed to about the middle, so 4–5-year-olds practice round movements three ways.

Mixed patterns
How to use this worksheet
- Rows 1 and 4: clouds with three bumps on a flat base, each started at its bottom-left corner.
- Rows 2 and 5: one continuous wave from the dot in the middle of the band, going up first.
- Rows 3 and 6: spirals that start on the outer edge and wind inward.
- Trace as far as the dashes go, then finish each row yourself.
What this worksheet teaches
The three rows train three kinds of curve: separate arches that close into a shape (clouds), a continuous up-and-down line (waves) and a circle that gets smaller on every turn (spirals). Letters such as c, o, a and s are built from exactly these round movements. Doing each pattern twice, three rows apart, lets your child try again after a break and often shows a clear improvement the second time.
Play idea
Seaside picture: turn the wave rows into sea with a fish, the cloud rows into sky with a sun, and the spirals into seashells on the sand.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
What patterns are on this sheet?
Clouds in rows 1 and 4, waves in rows 2 and 5, spirals in rows 3 and 6.
Where do the spirals start?
On the outer edge, at the dark dot, and wind inward to the middle.
How much of each row is traced?
A little over half. For clouds and spirals that means five or six shapes, including the solid model.
