Zigzags Tracing Worksheet — Medium Patterns, Full Tracing, 4 Rows, Ages 4–5 (Sheet 2)
Ten or eleven sharp peaks in every row: this medium zigzag card for 4–5 year olds is fully dashed across four rows, so the focus is on crisp points rather than finding the way.

Zigzags
How to use this worksheet
- Start at the dark dot on the bottom line and go straight up to the top line, then down to the bottom line; that is one peak, and the first peak is solid.
- Keep going up and down along the dashes without lifting the pencil, stopping for a split second at every point.
- Check the points: every top should nearly touch the upper guide line and every bottom the lower one.
What this worksheet teaches
A zigzag is a chain of slanted lines with a sharp change of direction at every point. Medium rows are lower than large ones, so the strokes are shorter and the hand works more with the fingers and wrist than the whole arm, a step toward the size of real handwriting. The up-and-down slants are the strokes in v, w and z and in the capitals M and N, and keeping every point on a guide line practices even letter height.
Play idea
Mountains or shark teeth? Your child decides what each row is: mountains get snowcaps, shark teeth get a fish swimming past. Then count the peaks in one row and compare with the next.
