Mixed patterns
How to use this worksheet
- Rows 1 and 4: narrow springs in one continuous line, starting at the dot on the bottom line.
- Rows 2 and 5: triangles side by side, each from its bottom-left corner up to the point, down, and back along the base.
- Row 3: separate squares, each started at the top-left corner and drawn across first.
What this worksheet teaches
Three different pencil habits share one page: continuous loops without lifting (springs), slanting lines that meet at a point (triangles), and horizontal and vertical lines joined by right angles (squares). Moving from a flowing pattern to shapes with corners makes the hand change strategy, which is what happens in real writing from letter to letter. Full tracing keeps the task accessible, so a 6–8-year-old who finds one of the three hard can still finish the page and you can see which row needs extra practice.
Play idea
Shape hunt: after tracing, look around the room for something like each row, the coil in a spring pen, a triangular roof or road sign, a square tile. Draw a tiny version of one next to its row.
