Waves
How to use this worksheet
- Start on the dot at the left, halfway up the band, and follow the dashes up, over and down.
- Where the dashes stop, keep the waves going to the end of the row, big and round.
- Use a thick crayon and let the whole arm move, not just the fingers.
What this worksheet teaches
Waves are one of the first continuous patterns preschoolers can manage, because they are smooth and have no sharp corners. Tracing the first half shows how high and how wide each wave is, and continuing alone asks the child to repeat a movement from memory, which builds early pattern awareness along with arm and wrist control. At this age, joined waves of any size are a success; the big rows simply give plenty of room.
Play idea
Boat trip: before starting, draw a little boat at the beginning of each row. The boat sails along with your child's crayon, and at the end you draw a tiny island where it can rest.
