Tracing Worksheets By Age
Line tracing is mostly for little people who are learning how to write—it is therefore perfect for toddlers, preschoolers, and kindergartners. Your child’s age and skill level will depend on which tracing lines worksheets you offer.
2 Year Olds: Focus mainly on tracing worksheets with straight lines. Encourage your child to draw lines from left to right.
3 Year Olds: Offer worksheets with straight, curved, and zigzag lines.
4-5 Year Olds: Offer more advanced line tracing worksheets with circles, etc.
Helpful Tips For Line Tracing Worksheets
- Encourage your little one to trace the lines from left to right;
- Try to make it fun. If your child is getting tired and frustrated, take a break;
- Keep your child motivated by supplementing your line tracing project with other related projects, like if he/she is tracing lines with a farm theme, sing farm songs like Old Macdonald Had A Farm;
- Choose a time of day when your child is relaxed;
- Be sure to offer rewards upon completion. Fun rewards can be stickers, gold stars on “chore chart”, verbal encouragement, or whatever you know your little one will like;
- Children appreciate one-on-one time. (After all, they spell love ‘t-i-m-e’). It’s, therefore, a great idea to develop rituals out of “homework time.”
