Spirals
How to use this worksheet
- Put the pencil on the dark dot at the right-hand edge of the first spiral and wind inward, going down and around, about two and a half turns, until you reach the center.
- Trace the next five dashed spirals the same way, lifting the pencil between them.
- After the sixth spiral the dashes end; draw the remaining four or five spirals by yourself, each standing on the bottom line.
What this worksheet teaches
Winding inward means drawing a continuous curve while making it a little smaller on every turn, so the hand has to grade its movement instead of repeating it. That kind of control later shows in letters of even size and neat proportions. At this medium size the turns sit close together, which makes it harder than on large spirals: your child has to keep a small gap between the turns so the lines do not run into each other.
Variation to try
Snail race: add a head and two feelers to each spiral in the untraced part of the row, then count how many snails your child drew without help in each row.
