Steps
How to use this worksheet
- At the dark dot on the bottom line, go straight up to the top line, turn right and go across, then straight down to the bottom line and across again.
- Keep the pencil on the paper for the whole row, with a tiny stop at each of the four corners of every tower.
- The line always goes back down to the bottom line: it's a wall with towers, not a staircase climbing up.
What this worksheet teaches
Right-angled corners require the hand to stop completely and change direction by 90 degrees, something curves never ask for. At 4–5, many children are close to copying a square, and this continuous pattern trains the same skill in one flowing line. The vertical strokes go both up and down while the horizontal ones always travel to the right, the same left-to-right direction children follow when they write.
Play idea
Build a fortress: after tracing, draw a gate in one row, windows in some towers and flags on others. Then your child patrols the wall with a finger, calling "corner!" at each turn.
