Spirals
How to use this worksheet
- Start at the dot on the outer edge and go round clockwise, making each turn a little smaller.
- Finish in the center and lift the pencil; the next spiral starts on its own outer edge.
- Aim for about two and a half turns so the coils don't touch.
What this worksheet teaches
Winding inward means steering a curve that tightens bit by bit, a fine-control task that rewards slow, steady movement. Without dashes, the child has to judge how big to start so the spiral fits between the lines, and when to stop. This second card offers a fresh layout, so a 4–5 year old who enjoyed the first one can keep practicing at the same level.
Play idea
Lollipop shop: add a stick below each freehand spiral, color them in stripes and turn every row into a shelf in a sweet shop.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
What is different from the first spirals card at this level?
The pattern and level are the same; the spacing of the spirals differs, so it works as extra practice.
Which way do the spirals turn?
Clockwise, starting on the outer edge and ending in the middle.
My child draws circles inside circles instead of one line. What helps?
Show that the line never closes: it keeps going round and moves a little closer to the center each time.
