Spirals
How to use this worksheet
- Put the pencil on the dark dot on the right side of the first spiral, on its outer edge.
- Wind down and around, clockwise, making each turn a little smaller until you reach the center.
- Lift the pencil and begin the next spiral at its own outer edge. After five to seven dashed spirals, draw the last four or five alone.
What this worksheet teaches
Starting big and closing in asks for constant small corrections: the gap between the turns must shrink evenly without the line bumping into the turn before. That is fine control of a curving line from the fingers and wrist, the same control needed for round letters. Because every spiral starts on the outer edge, its size is fixed from the start, so your child can compare the spirals and see which ones kept the same size.
Variation to try
Turn the spirals into snails: in the free part of the row, your child adds a head with two feelers to each spiral. The snails are only allowed to race if their shells have even gaps.
