Fence
How to use this worksheet
- Look at the sample first and count its posts together: two solid, two dashed.
- Put the pencil on the dot at the left and pull the rail across the middle of the band to the end of the row; the last row stops before the mascot.
- Add the posts from top to bottom, keeping them upright; about 20 or more fit in one row.
What this worksheet teaches
This page separates planning from drawing. Before a single post goes in, your child decides how long the rail is and how far apart the posts should stand, then repeats that choice twenty times. It is the visual planning needed to space letters and words. The strokes themselves are simple top-to-bottom and left-to-right lines, the two directions used most in print handwriting, so the challenge is consistency rather than a new shape. At 5 to 6 this bridges tracing and independent writing.
Play idea
Fence painter: when all six rows are done, your child colors every second gap between the posts to make stripes, then colors the mascot in the corner to match.
