Mixed patterns
How to use this worksheet
- Rows 1 and 4: small waves, starting in the middle of the band and going up first.
- Rows 2 and 5: circles, starting on the left side and going down and around counterclockwise, each standing on the bottom line.
- Rows 3 and 6: lying eights, starting at the crossing point, around the left loop first, then the right; trace the first part and finish each row alone.
What this worksheet teaches
All three patterns are curves, but each asks something different: waves need a continuous rhythm, circles need a closed shape drawn counterclockwise, the direction used for a, c, d, g and o, and lying eights need the turning direction to switch in the middle. Repeating the set twice lets your child notice what got easier on the second pass. Half tracing supports the start of each row, while the free part checks whether size and roundness hold without a guide.
Play idea
Bubbles and butterflies: add a small shine mark to some circles to make bubbles, and two antennae to some eights to make butterflies.
