Waves
How to use this worksheet
- Start at the dark dot halfway up the row: the line rises first, curves over, dips below the middle and rises again.
- Keep the pencil on the paper for the whole row; each row has ten to twelve waves.
- The last row ends early to leave room for the mascot outline, which can be colored at the end.
What this worksheet teaches
A wave trains a relaxed, rhythmic movement from left to right: the hand keeps moving while the direction of the curve changes every half wave. That flow is what later makes joined handwriting possible and keeps letters evenly spaced along a line. At 5–6 the goal is a steady rhythm with hills that rise almost to the guide lines, rather than a fast scribble, so encourage an even speed from the first wave to the last.
Play idea
Wave music: hum a slow tune while your child traces one row, then a faster tune for the next row, and talk about which row came out smoother.
