Taking Shape!

Line and shape tracing is a great way to introduce your child to the proper way of holding a writing instrument. This will also strengthen the fine motor skills they will need when they begin to write their letters and numbers.

Studies show that starting with lines and shapes actually increases a child’s ability to understand how to print the letters and numbers being introduced to them.

Line Practice

Line practice is a great way to strengthen fine motor skills and get children ready for writing.

It’s okay if they don’t follow the lines perfectly. Try letting them use something small like a crayon or a golf pencil. They are easier to grip and not as top heavy.

You can print these off in 5×7 or 8×10. Laminate to use dry erase markers or you can slip them into clear pocket protectors so they can use them multiple times.
