Steps
How to use this worksheet
- Start at the dot on the bottom line, go straight up, across the top, straight down and along the bottom.
- Keep the crayon on the paper and follow the dashes tower by tower to the end of the row.
- Say 'up, across, down, across' aloud; the words help at every corner.
What this worksheet teaches
This pattern is made only of straight vertical and horizontal lines with square corners. At 3–4 it teaches the child to stop at each corner and change direction on purpose, instead of scribbling around the turns, and it practices both up-and-down and left-to-right strokes in one line. Full tracing in a large size makes success easy, which builds confidence for harder corner patterns and, later, letters like L, E and T.
Play idea
Block city: when a row is done, your child draws a small window in every tower and counts the windows, so each row becomes a street of buildings.
