Steps
How to use this worksheet
- Start at the dot on the lower side: go straight up, then straight across to the right, then straight down, then across again.
- Keep the pencil on the paper for the whole row; the pattern is one continuous line that looks like the top of a castle wall.
- Make every corner a clear, square turn with a tiny pause – no rounding.
What this worksheet teaches
This pattern links vertical and horizontal strokes with sharp 90-degree turns and no pencil lifts, so the child practices changing direction exactly at the right point. The same up, across and down movements appear in capital letters such as E, F, H and L and in the number 4. With large steps, a 4–5-year-old has space to control each segment; half tracing shows whether the height and width stay even without dots.
Play idea
Walk it with your fingers: two fingers "climb" the dotted steps, then your child draws the next ones for the fingers to keep climbing.
