Vertical lines
How to use this worksheet
- Start at the dot at the top of the first line and pull the crayon straight down to the bottom line.
- Lift the crayon, move to the top of the next dashed line and pull down again; top to bottom every time.
- Say 'top, down, stop' with each line to keep the rhythm.
What this worksheet teaches
A vertical line is one of the first strokes children learn to imitate, usually around ages 2 to 3, and tracing it from top to bottom builds the correct direction for later letters like l, t and i. At 3–4, large dashed lines train starting at one line and stopping at another, the idea of staying between the lines. Many repetitions across five rows turn this into a confident, automatic stroke.
Play idea
Rainy day: every line is a raindrop falling. After a row, your child draws a small puddle under the last line, and at the end counts how many raindrops fell in the first row.
